This is the crayola time of year. When people who make up names for crayons–and paint I imagine–are swooming over green. That there can be so many shades of the same color…and we call all of them green. 
And this color. Magenta? It’s washed out in this pic. That’s almost a good thing. But the shrub is rhodedendron.
