Honoring Majorelle Blue

Let’s use Majorelle blue, okay?
I nodded.
Knowing nothing of it.

Morocco botanical garden blue.
Named for Jaques Majorelle.
French painter.

Nuturerer of gardens for forty years.
Eighteen years after his death.
Yves St. Laurent and Pierre Berge’ restored it.
A glorious lively cobalt blue.
