Mellow Yellow

I don't have a lot of yellow flowers in the garden, but I've got a few.

Got this lantana for a great price.  I think I've had every color of lantana, but never had yellow until now.

The allamanda is pretty, trying to find some sun next to the Giant White Birds of Paradise.

I have some yellow (non-native) milkweed, but it's not blooming now.  That would be due to the aphids I got tired of picking off...

Sometimes I buy grocery store flowers in - yellow!

And sometimes I find yellow wildflowers.

Oh, almost forgot the marigolds.  There's an old medieval legend that says if you want to attract fairies to your garden - plant marigolds.

Hey - I think it worked!  :)

Here's a close-up of that pretty Zebra Longwing, without the fairy lights.

I finally got a couple of photos of the Giant Swallowtail.  I've been chasing her around the garden for weeks trying to get a shot, but she rarely sits still.  

I was happy she slowed down a bit and she didn't seem to mind me getting right next to her.

 Here it shows more of the yellow on the underside.

Okay, last pic of this beauty.  I get so excited to capture something I've never photographed before.  Wonder what photographic model the universe will provide next!
