Actually, yes. Your DH is possibly seeing more texture and contrast between object because his vision is less 'cluttered' with color.
Native flowers are colorful to us...hybrids are even more colorful. But the native flowers have attributes that we may not see the way animals and insects see them.
Some native plants have what amounts to well marked landing strips on their petals that we just don't see. Neon 'vacancy' signs to attract pollinators.
Hybrid flowers are just colorful, and don't necessarily attract pollinators in the same way.
So, there's a whole visual world out there that we're not attuned to...as well as a world of sound, vibration, smell, etc.
BTW, if you're interested in keeping your garden 'alive' in the best sense, read a book titled "Noah's Garden".
Cheers
