Garden Flowers: The Magenta Zone
4:33 AM | Posted by

You're traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of flowers and color but of mind; a stroll into a garden whose fences are that of imagination. That's the garden sign up ahead — your next stop, The Magenta Zone.
There is nothing wrong with your computer. Do not try to adjust the color. Suspend disbelief. My garden is filled with magenta flowers.


You have come to the end of your stroll. Color is everything.
