Spring is full of pinks and yellows and the bright, regal tulips could outshine anything that is burnt orange and odd-shapen. In the fall, the pumpkins can compete. Sure there is a leaf or two each year that makes a pumpkin look dull. But in fall, pumpkins look cheerful and fun and like one last hurrah before snowfall. Nature is a good source of product marketing lessons. And timing is so important.
