The flowers also show a distinction, but in effect they are brilliant orange-red, the lip yellow, edged with scarlet. Forty or fifty of them hanging in a cluster from the top of the raceme make a show to remember. Mr. Watson "saw a plant a few years ago, that bore eighty-six heads of flowers!" They last for three months.
THE dairy was certainly worth looking at: it was a scene to sicken for with a sort of calenture in hot and dusty streets such coolness, such purity, such fresh fragrance of new-pressed cheese, of firm butter, of wooden vessels perpetually bathed in pure water; such soft colouring of red earthenware and creamy surfaces, brown wood and polished tin, grey limestone and rich orange-red rust on the iron weights and hooks and hinges.
The orange-red glow of the sun encompassed him with fiery rings, as though it would fain consume his thin, black-garmented form after the fashion in which flames consumed the martyrs of old, the worn figures of mediaeval saints in their half-broken niches stared down upon him stonily, as though they would have said, "So we thought, even we! -and for our thoughts and for our creed we suffered willingly, yet lo, we have come upon an age of the world in which the people know us not, or knowing, laugh us all to scorn."
What I thought I saw move appeared to be a dry lily bloom of an orange-red colour, that had fallen and lodged on the grasses against a stalk. "It's only a dead lily," I said; "drive on." "Is there a moth that colour?" asked Molly-Cotton. "Yes," I replied. "There is an orange-brown species, but it is rare. I never have seen a living one." So we passed the lilies.
This portrait was destined for her brother, Emperor Joseph II., and the Queen ordered two copies besides one for the Empress of Russia, the other for her own apartments at Versailles or Fontainebleau. I painted various pictures of the Queen at different times. In one I did her to the knees, in a pale orange-red dress, standing before a table on which she was arranging some flowers in a vase.
Had he not told her that fly agarics the orange-red mushrooms with white warts were very poisonous, and that the devil's toadstool the brown, squat one which so strongly resembled the boletus edulis was even more so?
All along the worm-fences the vetches and the butterfly-pea trailed their purple; everywhere the horse-nettle showed its lovely milk-white stars, and the orange-red milkweed invited all the butterflies of South Carolina to come and dine at her table. There were swarms of butterflies, cohorts of butterflies, but among all the People of the Sky he missed the Red Admiral.
But, now, suppose a little less pure yellow were taken, one containing a little greenish-yellow and a trifle of green, and also a little orange-red on the other side to red, then whereas to the eye that yellow might be as good as the first; now, when mixed with a blue, we get a very respectable green.
The colour, however, is peculiarly its own, and any one accustomed to seeing the vicuna can distinguish the orange-red of its silky coat at a glance, and at a great distance. "My companion at once pronounced the animals before us a herd of vicunas. There were about twenty in all, and all except one were quietly feeding on the grassy plain.
Everything seems on a huge scale; there are artichokes on great stalks, melons gleaming deep orange-red and too large for any but a man to lift; scattered all about are bunches of little scarlet tomatoes not much bigger than grapes. But the oddest thing to us are the bunches of fungi, tawny-coloured, piled up in heaps, and evidently very popular!
