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. -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.
