Show & Tell: Yellow

Västmanländskan has taken over the baton in the Show & Tell relay for the month of April. I couldn't think of anything interesting to write so it will be mostly show today. The theme is yellow.

Did you know that the colours of the Swedish flag used to be reversed once upon a time?

Comes out mostly green I guess but this South African bush has light-yellow flowers. Though the spikes are more interesting of course.


The cactus fruit prickly pear, which grows in Malta, among other places.

Lions are yellow in a way - this is taken on one of the most amazing experiences I've had, when I was on safari (or game drive as they call it there) in South Africa.

Fire is yellow (or orange) - this is probably the world's most recognisable flame, at JFK's grave in Arlington Cemetery in Washington D.C.

Beautiful rose in, if I remember correctly, Regent's Park in London.

Gold is a yellow of sorts - this is the gold doors to the bell tower next to the cathedral in Florence.

Yellow firepost in Newport, Rhode Island (USA) - don't think they come in that colour that often?

These cool little cactuses grow all over Fuerteventura, one of the Canary Islands.

Breakfast at a beautiful little B&B (Auberge Clermont) in the wine district in South Africa.

Lemons at the same B&B (and wine and fruit farm).

Yellow flower growing on the Swedish island of Gotland.

Another yellow flower, this one from England.
