March Was a Mellow Yellow Month


Yellow looks like daffodils
Yellow sounds like goldfinches
Yellow feels like the soft petals of a primrose
Yellow smells like honeysuckle
Yellow ...

Daffodils by the picket fence; honeysuckle on the arbor
Forsythia along Bluebell Creek (weeks earlier than last year.)
Forsythia x intermedia
Heuchera Havana
Cushion Moss
Primrose with yellow center
Primula vulgaris Primrose (3/24/12)

Pansies self-seeded in the driveway
Goldfinch wearing its yellow feathers (3/28/11)
Cedar Waxwing is a silky, shiny collection of brown, gray, and lemon-yellow
A flock of cedar waxwings visit the water dish (3/30/12)
The red tailed hawk looks golden in the bright sunlight.

March was a mellow yellow month. I wonder what color April will be?

Happy gardening!

  10. Great post, Pam. I love that last shot of the hawk. They're such stately birds. And the cedar waxwings are so cool. Don't those little pansies/johnny jump-ups amaze you, growing in the most inhospitable places? So pretty.

  23. Pam,

    What a wonderful 'yellow' post. You have some great pictures here.

    I hope you had a good winter. I found it went by fairly quickly and am so happy to be able to poke around the garden again.

  26. I find it interesting how certain colors seem to dominate at certain times of year - yellow really says spring to me.

  27. I love your images of yellow for March. You captured every spring yellow or gold so beautifully. I don't see the cedar waxwings very often, so it was nice to see them in your garden.
