The Yellows

[Compost]

Marsh Marigolds

Those reminded me of trips to the mucky places, and the absolute most awesome of Mother Nature's flowers--the water lily. A pond of those blooming just takes my breath away every time.

I see a lot of these where I live. This year it was a very wet spring so there were extra areas of water in low places. Marsh Marigolds are the star of the muck.

Water lilies are amazing. I love to see a lake thick with water lilies and some long legged bird standing in the middle of all those flowers.

Yellow flowers in my dacha- country house.
I do not know what they are called, they are grown by my Mom

Wow!
I saw a mass planting of daffodils like that once on the highway in ..St. Louis, I think. It's so beautiful, especially since when we left home at 5 am. that morning, there was two feet of snow on the ground.

I bet that was stunning. Yellow flowers are my favorite, very cheery and friendly. The yellow Louisiana Iris tops my list of native wildflowers. They grow like weeds.

The top one is a lily. The other two look like mum varieties.

Yellow=attracts wasps
Red=attracts bees

As I found out, the flowers that are yellow with red are Barhotki, others are Calendula.
These flowers have a pleasant smell and, at the same time, scare off harmful insects from planted vegetables

We have a blue variety but it is not as vivid as yours. I am going to plant them around my oaks. Live Oaks' have roots above the surface as well as below, and you can't get a lawnmower around them to get the grass/weeds. It is common to plant flowers around them.

I want this

To look like this except with irises...a lot of them (5 feet deep to surround roots)

This one didn't turn out very pretty so I've got 4 more trees like that. Maybe I'll get it right lol.

They're supposedly pretty poor drivers.

They're supposedly pretty poor drivers.

Which? The blue flag or the live oaks?

I fell in LOVE with live oaks when I visited the south. I'm spiritually partial to trees, anyway, but man o man, those are Trees with a capital T.

Yes! There's nothing like sitting under a 200-year old Oak to ground you. If your ever back this way, give me a shout. I'll show you Oak Alley Plantation.

Free flowers for your lady, G.T., if you pay attention.

When I lived in New York, I kept a 3 pound coffee can and a pair of shears in the backseat of the car, and sometimes I'd fill it with all different wild flowers. I made some kickin' bouquets.

My Мama, favorite flowers are in my log house in the Dacha
