Today’s City Daily Photo theme is the color yellow. I had to go with my favorite front yard flowers from this time of year. These were the first flowers I planted after we moved here. The bulbs were a gift from our neighbors.

You know it’s been a long winter when a neighbor walking by gets excited to discover a tiny iris that’s popped up in our yard. This diminutive flower is no more than 3 inches (7.6 cm) high and it’s a volunteer that grows in a bed of miniature daffodils.
The daffodils aren’t ready yet, nor are our crocus. After all, they were under a foot of snow only 10 days ago.
It took a moment for the sight to register in my mind: Flowers!
Sweet little anemones are a welcome sight on a cold winter’s day.
It’s summer in the southern hemisphere. If you follow photo bloggers in Australia, as I do, you can be rewarded with luscious summer scenes. The downside is when I return to reality and look out the window.
It could be worse. I know it could be much worse.
Freezing nights. Rain. Winds. We don’t see too many of these around now.
Here are two last favorite blossoms from the Master Gardeners Demonstration Garden.
This dahlia is a nod to nostalgia. I have always loved this variety and grew it in California. I think if I plant dahlias again it will have to be in the mix.
I made a quick stop at the Master Gardeners Demonstration Garden the other day. Some blooms caught my eye as I drove by.
The dahlias have held up pretty well despite rain and a couple of freezing nights lately.
There were even a few roses holding court. But, like most of our flowers these days, their days are numbered. Catch ’em while you can.
