You can choose flowers of purple, pink, blue, red, yellow and white. But what of the bright orange color to really give a happy and eye-catching shade of color? And, butterflies love it. Both annual and perennial flowers come in delightful and upbeat shades of orange. Hard to feel down when you are surrounded by bright orange flowers. A garden bed or container either one is a lovely way to decorate your outdoors. Here's a few options: Canna lilies come in bright orange and orange-red. In warm climates the bulbs can stay in the ground or in zones 6 and colder dig up the rhizomes and replant them in the spring. Chrysanthemums are beautiful for fall and their orange blooms last for several weeks. Marigolds are a great chose and are good to use near your vegetable garden to ward off bugs. Cosmos bloom early from seed and come in a lovely yellow orange shade. Osteospermum or African daisy have the most lovely coloring are technically perennials but are often grown as annuals. Geum are cute button-like spring bloomers with orange flowers on long stems. Check the USDA Hardiness Zone to be sure the flower you chose is okay in your area.

Oh, yes. I'm surprised we've been seeing them around here so much lately. We usually don't.

Those you mentioned are lovely flowers. But my favorites are daisies, roses and bougainvillea.
