A Rainbow of Flowers.


We are fascinated with rainbows lately. We have noticed that, not only do they form after the rain, but they also play on the wall when sunlight shines through our hanging crystals. What a dizzy dance of colors they make on the walls when we spin them in the sunlight. We shriek with delight!

And, would you know, the same colors that make up a rainbow, are all around us. Nature is FULL of rainbow colors! It was a wonderful discovery yesterday as we set about finding the flowers of the rainbow.

RED
ORANGE

YELLOW
GREEN
BLUE
INDIGO
VIOLET

This is a little poem K and I read last night. What a gift a garden is to us as she is a rainbow of colors for us to see every day.

My Rainbow Garden
 
 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-knots 
Yellow for Daffodils 
Red is for my gladiolas 
My flowers are such a thrill

Green creates the many leaves
Of my Rainbow Garden too
I get such peacefulness
I would love to show it to you

My roses, oh I have many
My palette of color shades
I must enjoy them daily
For the time for them will fade

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!

What a delightful post!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, colors are everywhere aren't they? We went out last night in search of ANY sign of spring, and we still can't find one. But it's coming, it's coming. I am looking forward to seeing some gorgeous flowers like these. :)

What lovely photos. I really like the idea of hanging crystals in the window to create rainbows on the walls. What a lovely poem it fit so well with your photos. Thanks for sharing
