It gives new meaning to the concept of "evergreen".
Think it would work on my lawn next spring????
Risky with lawns, especially here in Australia. Anywhere with water restrictions, a green lawn can get you dobbed in to the authorities. We have teams of people who go round investigating reports of suspiciously green lawns and lush gardens due to devious water wasters. Anyone using recycled water, rainwater tanks or groundwater has to have a sign up to let people know that they're not draining the dams. A spray-painted lawn could bring down the full investigation mob. Mind you, this summer is shaping up to be wet...
But you reminded me - time to go raid the backyard for overgrown canes of honeysuckle (a feral weed here, it's not typical honeysuckle but some sort of orange-flowered monstrosity) to weave a fresh Christmas wreath. I then put fresh kangaroo paw flowers in it (very red and green, Christmassy) and hang it on the front door. If I weave the wreath now, it will be (hopefully) dry and tight by 1 December when our decorations officially go up. Then the village grinch goes round, takes notes and leaves nasty messages in your letterbox...
I'm not kidding! Anyone who puts up lots of lights (as in Griswold's) gets a bill from this guy, for greenhouse emissions produced as a result of the extra electricity used. He gave me a copy of one of his more creative missives - un-freaking-believable!
I wonder what he would say about the environmental impact of green paint? Even water-based paint, he would complain about the water used!
