Color Challenge - Wednesday Yellow - Corner Flowers


Yellow Flowers Cornered


I have been meaning to post this photograph for a couple of months now.

I took it on our visit to Cliveden House which I wrote about in a number of other posts.

These particular flowers caught my eye because of the way they contrasted with the purple ones and formed a really colourful corner in a geometrically planted flower bed.

In fact I'm not actually sure if these are flowers or leaves.

Makes no difference though. They put on a good show either way. 😁

Glad you liked them @dedicatedguy. Thank you for stopping by. 😊

I'm pretty sure those are Aubrieta, they have both purple and yellow varieties. They're actually part of the cabbage family.

Really beautiful!

Aubrieta
Aubrieta (commonly known as Aubretia) is a genus of about 20 of flowering plants in the cabbage family Brassicaceae. The genus is named after Claude Aubriet, a French flower-painter. It originates from southern Europe east to central Asia but is now a common garden escape throughout Europe. It is a low, spreading plant, hardy, evergreen and perennial, with small violet, pink or white flowers, and inhabits rocks and banks.

The purple ones are aubrietia @daan but I don't think the yellow ones are. Aubretia grow with a single flower on a single stalk but if you look at the yellow ones they have a more clustered umbrella type formation.

I could be wrong though. 😁

My mistake, I think those yellow ones might be daffodils? They really seem to grow next to aubrietia pretty often, I've found very similar formations through Google Image Search. Maybe just because it's a very popular colour combination for gardeners?

Ha, ha, ha. They are definitely not daffodils @daan. These are ground level plants. Daffodils grow on a single stalk about a foot high and at a different time of year! 😂

On the whole Google is rubbish at identifying flowers.

At least you tried though. 😊

The flowers just looked as if they were Narcissus genus, but I'm rubbish too at identifying flowers :)

Whatever they are, they are beautiful!

Ah ha. So you don't know what they are either @melinda010100. I thought you might! 😁

Looks like a bee's dream of a flower-bed.

Very possibly @manorvillemike. Thank you for visiting. 😊
