Yellow and green... mostly ;)

Flowers come in a variety of colors. But sometimes it's interesting to focus on only a few of them. What about yellow and green?

 

But what is a rule if there are no exceptions? It's boring, so... let's add something else. What about this purple-ish Butterfly bush? Why? Just because it's so bright and attentive ;)

Oops... but... technically white is not a color so no exceptions needed :)

And if we let the Butterfly bush be part of today's story, how can we refuse Russian Sage? Moreover, it has not yet fully bloomed and is still mostly green.

And...it is not a pineapple, it's just a pinecone.... but I agree, it looks very much like a small pineapple (I'll be honest with you, I almost tried to bite into it).

Oh those Prickly Poppies... Papery and beautiful. And highly attractive to bees.

Sunflowers look much more interesting while they are opening up.

Prickly lettuce is ready to spread the seeds ;)

Morning glory looks good even at noon. No need to get up early to admire these flowers.

I hope you don't mind that I let this red bug crash at our party. But the leaf it sits on is green with a yellow-ish edge ;)

And now just look at this Puncture vine. Small attractive flowers, tiny leaves...

The leaves and branches are hairy and everything is really tiny...

Except thorns ;) They are huge, sharp and really dangerous. Don't walk barefoot on the plant and never ride your bike over it. It's capable of puncturing a hole or two in your tire with the ease of a hot knife coming through the butter!
