I don't really like yellow flowers . . .I don't really plant them . . . so how come, when I went to select flowers for a gift bouquet, I came back with this?Is it the odes to yellow I have been reading on various blogs? Is it the fabulous sunshiney days? Is it because I am making an effort to become a mellowy yellowy person?
Or can we just claim that this bouquet is orange?
The tulips are - for those who are interested - Texas Gold, a yellow parrot; Dordo
gne, an apricot with good long stems, Ballerina, orange lily tulip that smells of freesias but has weedy stems which need to be supported in an arrangement like this, and Gavota rust/burgundy with a yellow edge.They made me feel happy - I hope the person who got the bouquet feels happy too.

Hi, I just found your blog and I love it - how wonderful! I don't know much about flowers and gardening but I am slowly being introduced! Normally I wouldn't choose orange flowers (but would choose yellow LOL) but that bouquet is gorgeous!
You know, I have a similar problem when planting annuals in my garden; my vision has been red & yellow, but I always end up with a bed full of pink & purple (though red made headway this winter)
You have a lovely space & I'm enjoying exploring your life- so different from my own & quite enviable.
Call them what you will they are FAB!!!!! You have a brilliant blog, I have just found you through Cherry Menlove's blog!
Oh and by the way, I'm liking the hat too!!!
I feel the same about yellow - but seeing it on a sunny day makes all the difference. Such a happy colour! Still don't have much of it in my garden perhaps I'll give it a try. The bouquet does look great!

Lucky, lucky person to get such a lovely bunch of happiness.
My garden was supposed to be gentle pastel pinks and blues - very soothing. But I discovered that it was also rather boring so now I have an area of yellows and oranges that catch the late afternoon sun. Very mellow!
Have a lovely Bank Holiday weekend,
Alice

Jane - love love love yellow - the colour, in flowers, bed linen - all over the place!! But not to wear - but I would if I could.
And yes the bouquet is lovely

I'd definitely be happy if I received that bunch. Very cheerful. I know what you mean about yellow flowers though. I wouldn't often choose them. But having said that,George bought me a bunch of yellow tulips a couple of months ago and they made me smile everytime I looked at them because they were so cheerful.
