Springing Yellows & More

 #DailyFlowers

As January makes it way out, the weather warms up and brilliant yellows come out to play. Yellow is the color of the harvest, the harbinger of spring, the one that chases winter away, the color of the warming sun. And there were plenty of yellows that lit up the timeline over the last 2/3 days. So let's go meet them.

And since it has been ages one of my posts led, well...

When yellows come marching in
Spring is not far behind
Nature's music can be heard sweetly tinklin'
Filling everyone's mind

 

 And others, with Shalini asking Can Spring be far behind?

You mean yellows signal Spring
Winter's departure time they closer bring
That I am sure will make most rejoice
More open, warmer climes would be everyone's choice

And then there was Vivek: ‘Springing’ on your timeline are these mums from sis
Good morning!

 Mums on the timeline are springing
Wonder what they are really bringing
Methinks Vivek is on a pogo stick
Jumping here and there to get his clicks

The yellow parade is not over: This lovely flower is from the garden of a very close relative! Posting this with his permission

Brilliant yellows and soft pinks
Delicate yet bold like fairy winks
Have blossomed with abandon gay
Tall and proud, they do not from purpose sway

From Shashi: In the honor of the #Inauguration2021 these flowers are from 2011. Visit to the White House! When you are welcomed to a Luau in Hawaii

Whether Washington or Hawaii flowers rule
In the White House and at parties they are so cool
Spreading their joy and color all around
Flowers in hues, shapes, varieties abound

Also from him: It's magical, these wandflowers, can they make the world's hunger disappear?

 Wandflowers with powers to vanquish world hunger
Men working around leafless trees bringing forth new wonder
With care, trees to bloom afresh
Flowers that form a perfect mesh

 Shalini brought: The wandflower has pink flowers like butterflies, here's the white periwinkle with a gorgeous butterfly on it...from my friend Medha - she of the rooftop garden in the cramped city of Mumbai. Don't know the name of these beauties, but god sure has painted them in lovely colors! Happy Sunday folks! 

 God's painting and butterfly periwinkle landings
Both showcased against greens that are high in standing
Color combinations that rule the world
Flowers that the butterfly's head twirled

And then there was Vivek, following up on Shalini's post: Keeping with the butterfly theme. Don’t remember which one I shared b4, so sharing both. Good morning!

 From one butterfly to two
Vivek brought into play an awesome view
The flowers well with the butterflies gel
Wonder what tales they can us tell
The beautiful hibiscus he called the Holy See
And referred to himself as the questing bee
Could the winged visitors spell
Which all dales they had fortune to dwell

From my usually infrequent visitor, Gautam, An old pic: somewhere in Hauz Khas, Delhi.. Six years ago! My other infrequent contributor, Shinjini pitched in, too!

Amazing hues of pink does nature on us spring
Memories of yester years photos do forth bring
Whether in the garden or brightening up a room
A bunch of blossoms and a solitary bloom

Capturing the perfect bougainvillea shot is an art
In which Sai duly plays the best part
Composed to portray a story
The flowers shine in their own glory
