Yellow on Green
Out in the back yard this gloomy and overcast and drizzly morning there is some beauty. A brilliant yellow blooming bush with a back ground of fresh spring lush green grass is whimsical beauty.

On display in my Dive and Surf shop long ago there was a Hobi surfboard with an intricate design of yellow on green. It was picture perfect, a work of art. It hung on the wall like an expensive painting for several years.

In a spare room here in my home the walls are painted 'Sunrise yellow', a forest green satin bed spread covers the queen sized bed where no one ever sleeps. My daughter has decorated the wall with several straw hats covered with colorful fake flowers.

The yellow bush and the green grass reminds me of those things on this gloomy morning.

3. I am plant stupid
as well as many other types of stupid, but it does look like that. Very very yellow, like lemon.

4. Probably is it...
It's one of the very first to "spring" into action.
If the Winter has been a warm one, the ones near me will begin flowering late January but it's usually March, early April when they do.

Here's a better image of it.

5. We are on the shore
of frigid Lake Erie. Too far north?
