Say 'Yes' to Yarrow Red cultivar of yarrow, Achillea millefolium, planted in the Color Garden at Toledo Botanical Gardens. Red was the theme that year. I love all the color variations now available for this plant. ![]() I post high resolution photos (nature, travel, and other subjects) on smugmug https://arctangent.smugmug.com... |

Great banner Elizabeth! Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. |

Here's the photo I used for this banner, and another shot of the same red form of yarrow.![]() ![]() I'd love to see photos of some of the other colors of yarrow that are now available, if you're willing to share them. - Elizabeth I post high resolution photos (nature, travel, and other subjects) on smugmug https://arctangent.smugmug.com... |

Gorgeous photos - looking very much like Achillea millefolium 'Paprika'. |

Thanks so much, @HemNorth, for sharing the Achillea millefolium 'Paprika' shot. To my eyes that one looks more orange than the ones I saw and photographed, but I'm glad to have seen this one now (new to me). I'm amazed that horticulturists can bring such variety to a plant that started out as a humble wildflower, mostly white, but occasionally pink.

Hello, @arctangent - Yes, the orange shades are there, but the red and pinker shades can also appear. It could be the soil or the aging factor, but that's what I love about Paprika. The surprise factor. The database photos show a variety of shades: At the bottom end of Database photos, the third Plant Combination photo, by @Calif_Sue is also a Gem. |

Wow! Thank you @HemNorth. I can totally relate to this phenomenon. I see it in cultivars of dahlias and peonies, which I'm more familiar with. Growing conditions (soil chemistry, weather, planting zone, etc.) play a role, I'm sure, as you suggest. I can understand the appeal of a plant that is full of surprises like Paprika. - Elizabeth I post high resolution photos (nature, travel, and other subjects) on smugmug https://arctangent.smugmug.com... |
