Mellow Yellow Monday/Today's Flowers

I haven't been able to do much meme-ing lately. I've missed Mellow Yellow Mondays. I'm home waiting to get my garage door fixed so I've got a chance to catch some yellow this morning.


If I've got this right, this is a Fremotrodendron, also called Ken Taylor and California Glory. I've only seen these a couple of places. These photos were taken at the Rancho Santa Ana Botanical Gardens. It's a huge place but not very visible from the streets as the entrance is almost tucked away behind Claremont College.




Visit Mellow Yellow Monday, the brightest meme on the internet, and brighten up your day.

Mellow Yellow Monday - Yellow Centers

I thought my Mellow Yellow Monday shots would focus on some flowers with a sunburst of yellow as their centers.

Today's Flowers & Mellow Yellow Monday

I was walking around Descanso Gardens yesterday when they sprinklers went off. I went a little crazy taking shots of the drops of water on a lot of the flowers. I had such a good time and I think they came out so well. Here are just a few of them.

Mellow Yellow Monday - RSABG #4

Though this is my entry for Mellow Yellow Monday, it's also my 4th from my visit to the Rancho Santa Ana Botanical Gardens. I've never seen this before but I thought the flowers were so pretty and interesting. They sure made for great shots. The plant/bush/tree is called Fromontodendron, or "Fred Taylor", or California Glory. When I first saw it is was a huge bush than spilled over with it's flowers along the ramp up to the top level of the gardens. This first one was taken at eye level as I walked up the ramp. It was about 2 feet tall.


But as I walked far back into the gardens I saw these as what I guess you would call trees. To give you a perspective on the size, if I was standing next to it, my head would be about half way up in the photo and there were taller ones.



Notice how the center looks almost like plastic.

Mellow Yellow Monday

I hope this counts as being yellow. It's buttery popcorn and butter is yellow so... It's different from my usualy pics but I thought this would be a fun entry. Wish I didn't eat my last bag of popcorn yesterday. :-)

Mellow Yellow Monday - Leaves

Oops! I browsed for my photos, selected and resized them for the web and it wasn't until just now that I realized my photos today are all leafs. Oh well. :-D It rained for a bit yesterday and this one reminded me of the rain even though I took this last month.

Today's Flowers/Mellow Yellow Monday

I'm combining two memes today because these photos fit both of them. I don't know what the first flower is. I know what the 2nd flower is but the names escapes me. I'm sure everyone knows the last ones - daffodils.
