Reminds me of a (sappy) song by Harry Chapin: “Flowers are Red” where a teacher and schoolboy are at odds. The boy insists:
“There are so many colors in the rainbow \ So many colors in the morning sun \ So many colors in the flowers \ and I see every one”

“Flowers are red young man \ Green leaves are green \ There’s no need to see flowers any other way \ Than they way they always have been seen”
