SPANISH NEEDLE 
Austin Rosser 
THE flowers may be painted with 
the strongest of yellows (Albert, 
Orange, Yellow Browns) ; the centers 
are the color of the petals spotted 
more or less thickly with the darkest 
brown. The flowers grow in great 
masses, the color of which is well re- 
lieved by the soft grey green of the 
rather fern-like foliage, while the 
dried flower centers and the dark 
stems (Hair Brown, Finishing Brown) 
give the needed accent. 
Some of the soft purples and 
blues of other autumn flowers work 
well into background and shadows.
