He gently carried over a Purple tulip, setting it next to the others. He touched the blue and white stems again, making the original tone.

Then... he added in purple. How would it sound? He waited, listening.

The blue tulip slowly began to trill, just barely vibrating at first but eventually turning into a deep, soothing tone with a steady rhythm.
The white tulip chimed in sooner with a clear, pure tone that barely trilled; it came in somewhat above the blue's tone as they blended in a tuneful harmony in a somewhat minor key.

The rich purple color of the tulip was matched by the rich, deep sound which came in below the other chords. Hmm....it sounded all right...maybe. But the melody was just a shade off.
Close...very close...but not quite right.

Tapio stood behind Brandon, listening to his tulips. "Hmm, I don't know why they're doing that those colors really ought to go toether. Though the purple tulips tend to be a bit snobbish sometimes, especially the ones with red in them. I tell you what, why don't you remove that one and try this?" Tapio walked quickly on his long legs over to the tulips and selected a purple one that was a trifle bluer than the first and brought it back to Brandon. "Go ahead," Tapio said encouragingly, pointing to Brandon's wand. "Give it a try."
