In Willard L. Metcalf's 1913 painting, The Winter's Festival, green and russet colors underlay the landscape.

In Yukiko's bouquet, budding pussy willows overlay blowing snow above the white blanket of lilies. Russets of cymbidium sprigs and pussy willow branches harmonize greens of calla lilies and kale leaves. 2009
