I can sing a rainbow!

You can sing one too, if you like, but my rainbow is r.o.y.g.b.i.v. Do you remember what those letters stand for? Think back to your school days!
r = red…
o = orange…
y = yellow…
g = green…
b = blue…
i = indigo…
v = violet…
Not quite the same as the song, is it? Sing with me -
“Red and yellow and pink and green, purple and orange and blue”… Did that cheer you up on a cold morning? I hope so.

Thanks, everyone - it was such a c-c-c-cold morning I tried to cheer myself up - and you, too! :-)))
Dawn, the yellow is Alyssum saxatilis. I think 'they' have changed its name, but not sure what we're supposed to call it now. :/

I'm so glad you enjoyed my blog. 10/10 for Wildrose. You were paying attention at school, obviously! LOL.
Sorry about your foot, though - get well soon. x

I used to teach it at my school, but with some misgivings in case the children thought the colours were correct! :/
