Actually, we subjectively experience color and names of colors based on the light that the flower petals reflect and absorb. Also, not all roses are red. https:\/\/t.co\/frYf5Ke0Sn<\/a>
You imbecile, you moron. So many roses are not red. This is the dumbest tweet yet. https:\/\/t.co\/dqufJRqXLK<\/a>
ACTUALLY, not all roses are red and blueberries are not truly blue. You've been deGrassed, fool! https:\/\/t.co\/pwJlIV1bQD<\/a>
In your "correction" the quatrain no longer rhymes nor scans. Also viola sororia is known as the "common blue violet" by horticulturalists. https:\/\/t.co\/wStvP7k4GT<\/a>
