Burst of Color

This time of year, hedges like this provide such bright relief from the relentless gray. I kind of liked the abstract nature of this, but it's not a composition I would normally choose.

Laurie - I love the combination of purple and yellow - so striking!

[Michael Elliott]

Wow burst is right! Wonderful gold and purple.

[Debbi M]

Wonderful colors!

[Laura]

Almost regal! What is the purple? Early for azalea, but looks different than a rhodedendron...

[Laura]

BTW, we call these forcynthias, since my cousin (more like a niece) called them that when she was little. They come out at the same time as Cindy's birthday, which is today!

First thing I thought when I saw this was, L.A. Lakers! Purple and gold = winning combination! I am not a huge sports fan though!
So bright and cheerful! :-)

[Mike Warren]

Beautiful color. Like that pop of purple.

[MaryBeth Dailey]

We call them forsythia too. And I guess that is an azeala there in the middle. it is like the yellow hedge is giving the pink bush a protective hug....

[paula goff]

@mainebrighteyes @espyetta The pinkish purple shrub is a pjm rhododendron. They are early blooming rhododendrons that have flowers that look like azaleas. They are very popular where I live.
