    daffodils







    Tulips, too





    A rose, Teasing Georgia.



    Blooming Parsley is so pretty.



    Fennel is a nice companion, too.



    Someone is helping me harvest and also plant the next season of sunflowers.



    Dahlia


    sIt's more yellow when it first blooms.

    @librarian_gardner_8b_pnw Is that love-in-a-mist you have planted with your parsley? They contrast so beautifully!

    I love the parsley and fennel pictures and the rudbeckias. Is rudbeckia triloba invasive, Magpie? I have tons of low growing rudbeckia that come up all over the place. Sunflowers are not easy for me but I like them.

    I have to include Graham Thomas because it's so yellow-




    And Well Being because it's one of my favorite yellows-




  • 3 years ago

    @erasmus_gw last season was my first ever with the rudbeckia triloba blooming, so it remains to be seen how much it will reseed. I will let you know later in the season! I did really enjoy the look of it though. As for sunflowers, they seem very hit and miss for people. They grow like weeds in my garden, self sowing VERY prolifically even in awful parts of my yard and in the cracks between patio pavers, but it must just be my yard's specific conditions that they like because I can't take any credit for how well they do. I do nothing for them. Your yellow yarrow looks like the Parker's variety yarrow, which I started from seed recently to plant in my garden come spring :)

  • 3 years ago

    @erasmus_gw where did you get your Well-being? It's gorgeous.

  • 3 years ago

    I'll probably try some other sunflowers sometime. I like yellow...was going to buy coreopsis seed this spring but decided on a peach gaillardia. Might want to try a helianthemum. What all are you growing from seed, Magpie? I started some under lights already but think I started them too early as many are up and my hollyhocks are putting on size fast. Am really excited about the seeds.

    Librarian, I don't remember where I got Well Being. Most likely it was in a cuttings trade. I don't keep records but guess I should. Well Being can be a lot stronger yellow and often has either pink or rust edges. It has a very sweet, strong fragrance, good health, good bushy shape, plenty of vigor but it is not a huge plant, and it reblooms well. It's good own-root and is plenty hardy in zone 7a.

    Kristine, that's such a neat stripey picture with the one contrarian bloom. Those are beautiful lilies and roses and the sunset picture is really fine. Dramatic.

    @erasmus_gw, I've got a lot of seed to start this year as usual. Seed starting is just as much an addiction for me as roses! I've got 2 types of yarrow, delphinium, Columbine, stock flower, rudbeckia "Irish Eyes", tomato, pepper, lobelia, salvia, salpiglossis, dahlia, 2 types of agastache, scabiosa, coreopsis, lace flower, Matsumoto asters, nicotiana, 4 o'clocks, sea Holly, fox glove, pansies, blackberry lily, and that's all I can think of right now.

  • 3 years ago

    Gargamel, I love that out of control look too.

    Magpie, what a wonderful photo of the Swallowtails.

    Kristine, great photo of Kismet and the sunset.

    erasmus, I've never seen Graham Thomas and didn't realise he was so yellow. What gorgeous blooms.

    librarian, what a lot of very pretty plants you have in your garden.

  • 3 years ago

    Lots of yellow in my yard :)





  • 3 years ago

    Really enjoying these color threads!

    My mountain arnica from seed is seemingly happy - don't know if it counts as out of the ordinary, but here it is.

    Oursteelers, love your favorite yellows……especially the little one!! ♥️♥️

    Yellow critters…







  • 3 years ago

    I always think of yellow as the color of joy, so I'd love to add a little yellow here and there to the garden for a lively vibe. I've also been looking for yellow roses that are shade tolerant, disease resistant, and won't fade, without much success. Here are some yellows in my garden.

    Lisianthus. The yellow buds bloom into purple flowers, which is very surprising.


    Aster

    for something different… a yellow slime mold. 😂


  • 3 years ago

    I've seen some of that mold here I think. So many pretty ones, Feiy Lo. Love those critters, Markay.

    Magpie, I tried salpiglossis a few years ago from seed . I had wanted to grow it for maybe a few decades. Finally got to see a bloom or two and they were indeed pretty but the plants were spindly and I didn't try again. Would like to hear how yours do.


    I'm trying some seeds this year that might not do well here but I just want to try them: Baby Blue Eyes and another spotted nemophila, Scabiosa Fama Deep Blue, and some that are likely to do ok: hollyhocks Creme de Cassis, dwarf cosmos, gaillardia, alyssum, Gomphrena Las Vegas, agaratum Blue Horizon, Salvia Fairy Queen.. larkspurs, Excelsior foxgloves, tomato Better Boy, and I have a lot of other vegetable seeds if I can find any room for them.

    A nearby library has a seed exchange which is really neat. They also have cake pans you can check out!

    I have Four 'O Clocks which self seed vigorously but they stay in one area of my yard.

    Prickly Pear flower..one of the bees favorites!


    Cassia weed aka Candlestick plant host for sulphur butterflies



    Double tropical hibiscus..maybe Gator Magic, I forget lol


    Sunflower Citrus, by Burpee I think


    Michelia figo aka Magnolia figo or just Banana Shrub! Very underused and under rated plant in the south. I get strong vanilla and banana fragrance on warm afternoons. It is an evergreen and can get 10ft tall and is a good screening out plant.

    I only grow two yellow-flowered perennials, Forsythtia and Opuntia humifusa cacti.



    These "Hardy cacti" are in a huge containers, others are in the ground. WARNING: they will spread in the ground, and are VERY PRICKLY! I both LOVE and HATE THEM all at once!

    Just some daffs for Spring 2023.





  • 3 years ago

    Sorry, these are roses, but a little different, in my opinion.

    Morden Sunrise. A view of the entire bush looks like fluttering butterflies.

    Honey Dijon is a thick, creamy, saturated yellow. Yellow is not my thing, but I love this one. Just look at those stamens.


  • 3 years ago

    Won't be any daffodils blooming here for a while yet, but my Arnold Promise witch-hazel is already beginning to show some color (about a month early) 2/15/23

    Flowers, I love your Morden Sunrise! What a fabulous color rose.
