I definitely went through a flower-floosy stage in my mid 20\u2019s. Then there were the anti-color years. I don\u2019t think I\u2019d even heard the romantic notion of an all-white blooming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hgtv.com\/outdoors\/flowers-and-plants\/flowers\/create-a-moon-garden\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">moon garden<\/a> but I was still obsessed with the idea of keeping out those annoying colorful flowers, only the white ones for me!<\/p>\n<p>Once my love for foliage took center stage\u00a0I embraced variegation, again preferring shades of white &#8211; I liked the stark contrast.

My eyes read white like a spotlight, or a sort of black hole, sucking everything in, calling far too much attention to itself. Instead I\u2019m drawn to yellow and green variegation, or increasingly green on green.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The daphniphyllum below (and the star of <a href=\"https:\/\/plantlust.com\/blog\/plants\/looking-closer-at-the-plants-that-have-kept-me-engaged-in-the-winter-garden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">last week\u2019s blog post<\/a>) is a perfect example of what I mean.
