YELLOW IN THE GARDEN WITH A TOUCH OF LIME!! PART ONE....

As you may recall A, my front garden is all yellows, and that erysimum is the colour of my new car...which I love! And I've been searching for something to match the yellow, so come on, hand it over!! i'll pin it to my bonnet and drive around looking glam! Lol! I love the geranium with the euphorbia, and let me say..that escallonia looks like a Chelsea specimen compared to mine! I might have to put up a pic to prove how good yours actually looks! I do love yellow in the spring! It's so cheering. P.s. have had a glass of wine this evening.....

Funny you should write this blog DD because i was thinking about all the yellow in my garden at the min, My gorgeous acer which is more like a tree is really bright acid yellow and a euphoria i bought a few weeks ago, some of my grasses and a phormium yellow wave all shining bright like little pockets of sunshine but, there are yellowing plants which are supposed to be green!! , i put one of my cycads back into the Ghouse this morning before the poor thing turns white with lack of sunshine... HELP :)))
Your yellow plants are looking healthy despite the weather and are brightening the garden up, you must have hundreds of varieties of plants, do you keep a record of how many species you do have? or is that too much hard work lol..

PS, Karen i could just fancy a glass of wine, i haven't had a alcaholic drink since last July!!!

Great photos.I love all the plants along the path, Dotty D.
And yellow ...a great colour to brighten the garden...very much used in my front garden borders, particularly with mauves and blues!

cheers YDD!...glug!

YDD since last July!! good grief that is going some......my second part contains grasses and Yellow Wave!! and our Cycad looks very yellow, as you say we want some sun please. And yes I do keep a record of all the plants we have, they are on here in 'my garden"' when I look at the list I find it hard to believe we have so many........ good job OH cant see lol
K I need to see a photo of this car lol and only the one glass ? are you not well!!

Thanks Paul, loads more to come tomorrow,sorry!

I like yellow in the spring Angela ,it compliment daffs crocus etc.it cheers us up mentally but then I let that fade into pinks and mauves in the summer months , and then back to autumn colours I like the different seasons and colours ...

Hi Dotty... lots of good colour ideas there :o)

You do have a good selection of yellow plants DD all contributing to making it seem as if you have sunshine which is what we need right now.
The yellow I have in the garden seems to be in the form of shrubs, Euonymus, L.Nitida `Beggesen`s gold` Fatshedera, L>Mint Crisp Escalonia `ellens gold` which I moved in march and put it under the Mahonia where its had more protection and its doing very well, and oreganum in the herb pots.

i love the yellows in the garden and am looking for more to brighten mine in winter months, lovely pics Angela :o))

Thanks HB you hit the nail on the head there.....I did not realise just how much we had.......
Thanks San there are so many plants to chose from, that will brighten up a garden..
Stroller some of my favourites there, all solid gold.....
TT thanks for your comments..
Amy I like to see it all the year, I must admit, I have some borders that are just silver and blue, but yellow is never far away......

Lovely blog Dd, I always have a lot of yellow at this time of the year with the spring flowers and have to say the past couple of years its been a cheery sight thank goodness...

I do so agree with you lincs.....

Lovely touches of yellow all around your garden Dotty - I pinched an idea from it by planting a Sambucus nigra 'Black Lace' next to a Lonicera 'Lemon & Lime' and am so pleased with the contrast. Also, with Michael being colour blind, yellow is one of the colours to really stand out for him so he loves the Spring flowers, Daffs, Primroses etc. I have very little red in my garden as he cannot see those tones at all ... :o(

Thanks Shirley, I did not realise Michael was colour blind, must be difficult for him.
