How beautiful Jane! I love the vibrant colors. When my little girl was a baby I had a house with mustard growing alongside the Southern side, it was one of the plant she first learned to recognize. Probably because of the vibrant color 🙂 Great photos.

Mustard Bloom is so Monet like with the oranges in the background and a Burst of Mustard is like exploding into an alternate dimension–or a bad result in shaking the bottle. 🙂
