Outdoor Flower Series Week 7

Continuing my Outdoor Flower Series inspired by the book "The Meaning of Flowers" by Gretchen Scoble and Ann Field... TODAY... some more flowers from my garden... not sure their OFFICIAL name but I call them ADORABLE WEEDS...

Kids like to suck on the stems and they call them Sweet and Sours... I believe they learned that name from ma mère... hmmm...
they LOVE to hang out with my other flowers too... and I don't have the heart to pull them when they all look HAPPY together...

and those Blue Bells look cosy with them... BFFs...

Does ANYONE know the correct name of these YELLOW DELIGHTS?

This will be the last flower series entry until May... Starting this week we will be taking a VIRTUAL trip to April in Paris... soooo OUTDOOR WEDNESDAYS for A Southern Daydreamer will be outside in Paris!!!

ENJOY!
