| There was a lively interesting thread a bit back re the use of yellow in a garden. As I recall it was more of a philosophical discussion with posts of usually well explained personal opinions and preferences. I am simply looking to compile a list of specific perennials with canary yellow flowers. For example the blooms of "Moonshine" Yarrow or "Ozark Sundrops" or "Evening Primrose" is the yellow I am interested in and not for example the buttery yellow of "Lemon Queen" or the orangey yellow of say..."Goldsturm". Give me your favourite similarly hued yellows. |

| The early Chinese yellow roses- R.Xanthina var spontanea, r.hugonis, r.cantabridgiensis, r.primula.....and, of course, r.canary bird. These paler yellows seem to fit right in during the cool sunlight hours of spring and early summer (primulas, narcissus) while once the days turn to golden late summer and autumn, I am enjoying the deeper gold and bronze tones of the rudbeckias, helianthus and solidagos, as well as the wide blooms of achillea filipendula 'Coronation Gold). |

| Daffodils yellow selections of Penstemon pinifolius (well-drained area) Baptisia sphaerocarpa 'Screaming Yellow' Hemerocallis 'Happy Returns' Helenium ‘Double Trouble’ or other yellow selections |

| Good reminder re daffs. And our Baptisia "Lemon Meringue" flowered for the first time this past spring. Again the right shade of yellow. |

| Coronilla valentina subsp. glauca Citrina is one of my favourites. I used to grow it in England where it flowered all through the second half of winter, throughout the spring and on into the summer. As soon as the sun came out, it's perfume filled the air. I grew pale yellow tulips and wallflowers in front of it and together they looked and smelt good. Here in Crete, it flowers for me throughout the whole winter and spring. It stops flowering when the summer gets hot, then I cut it back and it looks neat and pretty all summer. Daisy |

| I grow a yellow verbascum. |

| The Sunsprite rose is the brightest yellow in my garden, and repeats all summer. It does not make a good cut flower is its only weekness. Al |
