One of my favorite flowers is Marsh Marigolds (Caltha Palustris), a brave perennial that lives near water and puts on a brilliant display of gold and yellow in the spring, a real feast for the eyes. Last week, they were there at the Sayen Gardens in Hamilton, NJ, next to a small pond, outshining other flowers that did not fare so well in the cold and rainy days we have experienced these past few months.

Beautiful. Nothing indicates the change of season better than a burst of yellow.

You are right. That’s why so many beautiful flowers are yellow, at least for our eyes.

I’ve always liked them, too, for the color and the sturdiness – you get the feeling that nothing could hurt them.
