I take it you don't like yellow?
Too right no ideas why, just don't like yellow/orange. Finding it
jarring/unrelaxing (if that's a word.)
Like citrus yellow though and the bronzey orange that echinacea can go.

How odd. My aunt hates yellow flowers, too. We managed to get away
with marigolds, but mostly she planted buzy lizzies, since they are all
pinky bluey white!

And you've reminded me that I forgot to get the name of that little
blue flowered trailer... I'll get there eventually! We have big clumps
of Inula in the garden and Cephalaria gigantica has had to be hoicked
out by the ton - it's a very determined plant. Helinathus Lemon Queen
is a fantastically good value perennial, IOO and goes on flowering for
ages while the colour isn't too 'in your face'.
