Since real life has me pretty busy right now (if you are on Facebook, you know that son Joshua is in the hospital), I will continue to do easy posts of flowers from Stan Hywet for a couple more days.
Today you get yellow!
Here's a lovely hibiscus. They look like cartoon flowers, or maybe some sort of spy antennae.

The yellow day lilies were looking great. Don't know exactly which variety these are, but since I haven't met too many day lilies I don't like, it doesn't really matter.

This was a new plant to me. It's called Carolina lupine, but it's not really a lupine. The scientific name is Thermopsis caroliniana. About all they have in common is both being legumes, and the flower shape is similar.

And now, I think I'm going to call it a day. I don't do medical advocate all that well, and it's tiring.

our sons have the same name. a speedy recovery to him
sorry to hear Joshua is in the hospital. Wishing him a speedy recovery.
I had a hibiscus for one year. Apparently they sold the tropical kind that can't survive our winters.
Beautiful, Joan. The top flower is hibiscus. I had red ones one year, just annuals in our area. ;o)
Lovely photos, Joan. do hope Josh is making a good recovery and will soon be back on his feet.
I particularly like the hibiscus. Also hoping for a speedy recovery for Josh.
