Call Me Mellow Yellow



Not too sure about these results, but what the hey... Gran's bowl needed a touch of color and it doesn't get quicker, easier or cheaper than what you see. I stapled the "petals" to a center coffee filter, put them in the sink and poured paint over them. After soaking, twisting, swirling and blotting on newspaper, I put cookie cooling racks into use. Then, it was a huge scrunch around some past paper results, a tie with rubber-bands, and a stake with a wooden skewer. Voila! 
Nice thing is, if I'm sick of looking at them by next week, there's no guilt. 
What would one call this variety of wildflower?
