April - The best yellow flower

[rodsmith]

Yellow flowers are my favourites so I thought I would indulge myself by setting a subject that I will enjoy judging. The photos can be of any yellow flower or flowers on a cactus or other succulent and I will be judging on subject, display and photographic merit.

Good luck.

[John Dos]

Aichryson parlatorei, a small (15 cm tall), annual leaf-succulent, with star-shaped flowers with up to nine yellow petals. Photograph taken in situ in Bco. de Azuaje in the north of Gran Canaria. A group of them growing among Aeonium seedlings and tiny Monanthes.
