Lots of color, Snuffy. Another color line: We'll join the green laurel and the violet so blue (Irish, in the DT, Kennery, Folksongs of Britain and Ireland). Red, white and blue apparently Irish also (see Alice, above). Posting by JB3: change the green laurel for the bonnets so blue (Lupinus- bluebonnets of Texas, etc.? Or the bluebonnet cap once worn in Scotland?). Some of the red, white and blue probably American patriotism showing up. Any more color changes?
