In the Garden has sent us all a rainbow invitation to brighten up the winter days by posting photos of blooms that match the rainbow colours.
What better photo to start with than the gorgeous arch of the rainbow. After the deluge of rain we had from yesterday afternoon to about mid afternoon today I would of loved to see a rainblow. Unfortunately all I saw was clouds and more clouds. So this photo of a rainbow was taken sometime last summer. And if you look very carefully you will almost see a double rainbow.
The photos are not in any particular rainbow order.
I'll start off with yellow, and what better flower than the march marigold, which lefts our spirits after a long winter and is the first to bloom.

Green is for the trees and their leaves that give us cooling shade in the hot summer weather.
The drumstick allium is perfect in purple or violet.
Red for the gorgeous zinnias which I grow from seed. 
Orange for the common ditch lily.
And last but not least the delicate pink on the daylily.
What a fun time I had searching through photos for find ones to share today. The choice was hard as there were so many uplifting photos to choose from.
Thanks for taking time to visit today. I hope you have time to say hi and leave a comment.
Very nice, great seeing blooms at this time of year.
