White: Lilies, finally opening along our front walk.
Red: Yarrow, a brilliant explosion of color at the front of our flower bed.
Orange: Lantana, a sunny surprise spreading in and around a significant portion of Darren's cactus garden.
Yellow: Lemon Queen Sunflower, one of several varieties planted by Dylan.
Green: Poppy flower bud, which my kids think are hysterical. (But if I wasn't so polite, I'd admit that I think they look rather obscene.) Fascinating, they are.
Blue: Bachelor's Button, one of my favorites not only because it is blue (my favorite color), but also because I find it's irregular edges quite striking.
Purple: Penstemon, currently dominating the front left corner of our flower bed.
And finally, a white Shasta Daisy. I can't count the number of times I sneak out during the day just to steal a quick peek at the serene faces of these unassuming beauties. They calm me, instantly.

Beautiful rainbow!
So lovely! Just looking at your rainbow of flowers makes me want to plant more variety in my own flowerbeds. Mine mostly consist of reds and pinks, as most of the color comes from my begonias, which I've had the most luck with from year to year. I used to have more color, but most of what I'd plant just didn't last. I may have to try again, because your flowers are just gorgeous!
You have got a knack for growing and a knack for photographing!
What a joy-filled garden you have!
