Wonderful photos, Audrey. As far as yellow goes, this spring there has been a good crop of Black-Eyed Susans around here (Northern Plains of TX).

Such a lovely display of yellow! We used to have one of those yellow pom pom bushes (don’t know the name) I wonder what happened to it?

Kerria japonica. Pom-pom bush describes it! There’s a single form as well, but I’ve never seen one.

I really liked the look of the japonica. Investigating here in the UK, I can get it and grow it here, even in large container. (I have paved garden). One thing though, to buy one can be expensive, over £20 in many cases, but I found a stockists not too far away who have been selling them for less than £8 and I’ve placed an order for later.

They do send out suckers, so containment should work. I’m surprised they’re so expensive, though.

It’s from the one clump of dandelions in my herb garden that’s been there for years. I deadhead it to prevent seeding. The flowers are a cheerful sight.

Thanks, Andrea! I just use a little Canon point & shoot camera that’s actually quite old, but it’s good for plant photos. Hopeless for birds, though, which is why I was happy to find that photo of goldfinches that my husband took with a “proper” camera.

Beautiful yellows, Audrey. The kerria intrigued me, a plant I’m not familiar with. I like big bushy flowers like that. I’ll have to look it up and see if it would grow well here. 🙂

It’s a fairly easy shrub, but spreads by suckering, so keep that in mind. The Latin name is Kerria japonica. Mine is the double, fluffy form, but there is a type with single flowers.

Good to know. I have a lot of places where that would be okay. It’s pretty!

Apparently it does well in wet or dry soil, except for heavy clay, and is OK in shade. So a good choice!

If you are in UK, yes it will grow just fine. I have all paved gardens so it’s going in a large pot. Shop around as prices differ significantly. I’ve one on the way from Farmyard nursery in Wales for less than £4 (normal price £7.95) but have seen them over £20.

I’m in Oregon in the US, but my climate is similar to Audrey’s. A touch colder perhaps, but not much. It’s just about planting time here so I’m going to look around for it this week. Thanks for the tip, Gary. 🙂 Happy Gardening!
