In April, yellow flowers reigned supreme in my garden. Check out this gallery of the recently flowering plants gracing my grounds.
Black Currants are one of the first flowering shrubs. Blooms are pure yellow trumpets at first.
The blooms open widest in the bright morning light. Small insects sometimes hide inside the inner flower as the petals shrink in the late afternoon to provide a cozy way to protect against the cold night wind.
As the petals mature, a berry red ring appears. The nectar sweetens as well.
Tulips
The yellow tulip is not my favorite color of tulip honestly, however...
When planted in the right place...
When viewed in the right moment of the day...
On the day that nature has chosen...
The sunlight and the shadows will lift out some colors far beyond any ordinary yellow.
Rosemary
Lastly I wanted to share the rosemary shrub in bloom. Young shrubs often do not bloom at all, so now that mine is developing lavender flowers, that tells me the wood and roots are maturing.
As the leaves develop the tinge of fire grilled pineapple and mango barbeque hues, the flowers balance on high poles, like balloons that popped while frozen from the icy air.
Even the scent of the charred citrus leaves with the peppery sweet flowers provides a welcome contrast for this unusually cold and wet time of year.
The rains are worth it when it brings with it the fulfilled promises of many colors.
