Here I am sitting in front of my window, watching the rain pouring down and decided to add my own little “ray of sunshine”! :-)
Yellow Loosestrife
Yellow Rudbeckies
Ground Covering Loosestrife
Golden Clematis Tangutica
Oenothera Tetragona,
And last but not least, a miniature rose:

Thanks ya all!
Have to do what you can to brighten up a day like today and we, gardeners, are lucky because we can do it out of our own yards!! And thanks to GT, we even get to share!!!
Except for being next door to each others, this is surely next best!

I do like yellow flowers: make such a nice statement in the flower beds. And for some reason they seems to bloom for a longer period of time!?
I am looking for reds now, real reds not dark pink or orange!! And they have to be perennials!!
Any suggestions out there?

Well there is always your red Roses or various red Daylilies, red (Fanal) Astibles, there are 2 different Coreopsis that have red within the flower; one is “Snowberry” it is white with a redish center; and the other is “Sunfire” which is yellow with a red center. The Gaillardia “Fanfare” has red in the flowers too. Not sure if you are looking for only a solid red flower or not. Anyway, these are what I think of perennial wise … :-)

Beautiful assortment of yellows. For red I agree with Coreopsis…Perhaps Mahogany Midget or Limelock Ruby.
Others would be:
Columbine ‘Red Hobbit’
You should find true red lilies
Carnations
Tulip Red Hunter
Dianthus deltoides Cherry red or zing rose
