Flowers For A Gray Day

You can tell when it's been gray for a couple of days. I have this need for colour so I dig out the cd's and lave a look.
I like orange and found this nice little flower which really is bright in the summer. I wonder what you call it, here it is known as Havikskruid.

This Buddleia is so dark purple...but still it's richness of colour helps brighten my day.

Finally this day lilly really brings back the memories of spring days that are on their way.

 

Thanks for some color Sjoerd. I feel the exact same way during the dreary days of winter. We call the first one "Hawkweed" here...not the most flattering of names.

 

Havikskruid means "hawksherb" in Dutch, so that's a similarity.Fox and cubs......
I wonder where the names came from anyway.
I'm glad you liked the splash of colour too!

 

Thanks for sharing. They are all very lovely. But my favorite is the lily

 

They're very pretty, all three. Colour is much appreciated at this time of the year.

 

Those are gorgeous!!!

Thanks for sharing!

 

I love orange in the garden too. I needed color the other day so I have been adding my pictures to the new garden area of my album. Take a peek when you have time. I am not done with flowers 2008, still a work in progress.

 

Thanks for that lovely burst of colour Sjoerd, it's really cheered me up on this cold December day

 

I enjoyed these, Sjoerd. the orange is pretty and the Heliotrope is dramatic color in real time. I just wish they were perennial. Thanks a bunch.

 

I really enjoyed the color, Sjoerd. Thanks for knowing that we all needed it too.

 

Thanks for those very nice copmments guys...
Those flowers are not Heliotrope though, they're Buddleja davidii 'Black Knight', or butterfluy bush I think they are called in english.

BTW Sherry--where can I find your albumn?
