Sunday Afternoon Rainbow!!

We were "on the road."  In the north, the sky was somewhat clouded above the horizon and both ends of a rainbow appeared.  From time to time, one end was dazzlingly brighter than the other.  Anyway, here are a couple of photos.

You can see all R-O-Y-G-B-I-V... plus a couple more!!

A thrilling sight, to say the least!!

Happy Day!

A Spring Rainbow!

C - Stands for Color!
I'm going to combine Mrs. Nesbitt's ABC meme today with that of

Rebecca author of In the Garden

who issued an invitation to participate in a Colorful Meme entitled "A Rainbow Invitation!" I wanted to share some of the color I enjoyed this past year in my gardens. :-)) I have to laugh! I got "stuck" in the photos taken one day... last May 4, 2009!

Here's my Spring Rainbow!

That was fun! Thanks, Rebecca! :-)

If you'd like to participate (or see who's participating) in the ABC meme and/or the Rainbow meme... click on either of the links at the top of this post.

"We do not merely want to see beauty, though, God knows, even that is bounty enough. We want something else which can hardly be put into words—to be united with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it, to become part of it." --- C. S. Lewis

A Muse about the Rainbow

My Rainbow Garden

by Marilyn Lott

I have a Rainbow Garden
For inside of it you’ll see
Every color you would find
What a rainbow ought to be

The blue is for Forget-me-nots
(or in this case Brunnera, bloomed earlier)
Yellow for DaffodilsRed is for my gladiolas (or asiatic lilies and monarda)
(Asiatic lily - Crimson Pixie, bloomed in June)
Monarda (Jacob Cline, blooming now)My flowers are such a thrill


Green creates the many leaves
(hosta - Diana Remembered, blooming now)Of my Rainbow Garden too
I get such peacefulness
I would love to show it to you

My roses [flowers], oh I have many
My palette of color shades
I must enjoy them daily
For the time for them will fade
(daylily - Pretty in Pink, blooming now)(miniature rose - unnamed,
blooming now)(blackberry lily -Belamcanda chinensis
blooming now)
(daylily - Madonna, last blossom today)(daylily, Yellow Mammoth spider lily
just finished blooming)(Purple coneflower - budding in the shade)(dwarf aruncus - dwarf goatsbeard
blooming now)(Siberian Squill, very early Spring)(Water hyacinth, blooming now)(Dutch iris, early Spring)
So if you’re feeling weary
And you don’t know what to do
Plant flowers of all colors
And have a Rainbow Garden too!

(More of Shady Gardener's Rainbow)
(Stargazer Lily - blooming now)(Sempervivum - hens and chicks,

(Sedum "John Creech?" blooms now)
