Dear all and especially my pal Paige for reminding me of some other 
great yellows:

>	Arisaema flavum (light cadmium yellow)
	Some consider this too common, even weedy- characters I like a lot.

>	Many, many Crocus spp. I disagree with my dear friend Jim 
>Waddick on their blahness (it's not his fault; he also likes 
>bananas) and would specially
>recommend C. vitellinus (
	Well I haven't grown this species, but they generally don't 
last long due to their tastiness. I have grown enough to be called 
(and surely deserve)a Croco-nut - one of the best of names to be 
called.

>Disporum flavum (buttercup yellow)
	I do love this and wish it didn't bloom so early to get 
serious frost damage almost every spring.

>Iris bucharica (OK, it's yellow and white,
	There is an all yellow form too, but it is also easy and reliable here.


>Tulipa batalinii
	I almost mentioned this one. It does seem to 'evade' the 
critters more than most.

	And there's probably more, but that's the 'devil' to picking just 5.

		Thanks Paige- write me.
