But be bright,
bright,
bright as yellow,
warm as yellow.
~The Innocence Mission
“When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not.”
~Georgia O'Keeffe
"He is happiest who hath power to gather wisdom from a flower."
~Mary Howitt
"The artist is the confidant of nature, flowers carry on dialogues with him through the graceful bending of their stems and the harmoniously tinted nuances of their blossoms. Every flower has a cordial word which nature directs towards him."
~Auguste Rodin

Gorgeous!
I can't believe you have such beautiful flowers in your garden! Nice shots--I LOVE yellow, btw.
Yellow flowers are my favorite!!!
Just beautiful, you have such a great eye :)
Lovely! Of course, you know I love the one with the bee on the flower!
I have been planning anyellow garden in honor of my Mom, it's her favorite color. I have lots of yellow right now with all the blooming spurge! I will be moving my golden Larch tree and all my Forsythia shrubs out there too, along with some baby Witch Hazel. Also I want to pick up some yellow Iris for the yellow garden. If I want to gamble, I'll put in some yellow Banksian roses (gamble with the hungry deer, that is.) Is that yellow Echinacia I see in your post? Really pretty pictures. Have a great day! Bonnie
Thanks for the kind comments!

love the Leopard's Bane :) will have to see if I can get some next year for the part of the yard that doesn't get a lot of sun :)
WOW!!! What an outstanding post! thank you for sharing your beautiful flowers with us.
I'm not often a fan of yellow but those flowers and pics are beautiful! ☺
The contrast of the yellow and red in the 2nd photo is wonderful. I won't have any yellow flowers until the black-eyed susans bloom, which usually not until the first week in July.
Really beautiful photo,s.I love yellow flowers, (sunshine all wrapped up in a little jewel).
A wonderful post thanks for sharing.
Warm Wishes
