I'm having a really strange insert problem, which I cannot figure out.

I have a table in my database, which I created using the following
query (I'm using Postgresql 7.4, if this helps):

CREATE TABLE yarncolor (
        yarn_color_id       SERIAL,
        yarn_id             int NULL,
        yarn_color_nm        varchar(35) NULL,
        yarn_color_num       varchar(10) NULL,
        yarn_color_desc      varchar(50) NULL,
        discontinued_flg     boolean NULL,
        yarn_color_lud       timestamp NULL,
        PRIMARY KEY (yarn_color_id),
        FOREIGN KEY (yarn_id)
                              REFERENCES yarn
);

Everytime I try to insert a record in this table via ColdFusion
generated page, I get this error message (I also get this in
phpPgMyAdmin):

SQL error:
ERROR:  column "anemone" does not exist


In statement:
INSERT INTO YarnColortwo (yarn_id, yarn_color_nm, yarn_color_num,
yarn_color_desc, yarn_color_lud) VALUES ( 15, Anemone, 616, whatever,
now() )

I'm at a loss as to why does Postgresql think there is a column named
"anemone".  Yes, I tried another string of character and get the same
message.  Anyone have an idea what may be going on?
