In her memoir, Braiding Sweetgrass, Dr. Robin Kimmerer writes about her quest to learn the whys and ways of nature, why beautiful meadows of purple asters and yellow goldenrod grow together in pairs, attracting more than poets and artists. 

Rather than growing as individual stand-alone plants, meadowlands are palettes of color, purples and yellows acting as reciprocal pairs, attracting the eyes of butterflies and bees.  This paired relationship creates a harmonious consolidation of cross pollination.  Each purple and each yellow brings out the intensity of the other. As Kamerer writes, "The touch of one brings out the other." 

Sounds like love, to me.
