Hi all,

Like many others, I'm not terribly fond of yellow flowers. I'm actually
surprised to hear that so many others prefer other colors as well - I thought
it was just one of my quirks.

That means, of course, that my list of favorite yellows is going to include a
fair number of yellow mixes:

1. Hesperantha vaginata. I guess adding the brown highlights is enough of a
distraction for me!

2. Moraea (Homeria) elegans also has a lovely mix of yellow and either green
or orange - there's a great picture on Jim Duggan's site:

3. Any of the yellow Tigridias

4. Doug Westfall's gorgeous yellow Veltheimia bracteata definitely makes the
list (http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/…

that yellow!

5. This may not exactly count, as there is more white than yellow, but I
love the pale, soft yellow of the cup of Narcissus 'Loth Lorien'.

Now that was hard work - and not because I had to narrow down my list!
