The Colours of Spring: Yellow

Yellow is always the first colour of spring.

Before the garden is full, before the air hums with summer, it begins quietly with yellow. Daffodils scattered in the grass. Wattle softening the hillsides. A sudden brightness against grey skies, like sunlight breaking through after weeks of rain.

At Thistle & Weeds, yellow is the spark that tells us the season is shifting. It is the promise of longer days, the warmth that wakes the farm from its winter hush.

Why Yellow Matters in Spring

Yellow spring flowers carry more than colour, they carry meaning. They are often seen as symbols of hope, friendship, and renewal. In Melbourne, the earliest yellow blooms arrive just as the cool days begin to soften, bringing with them an optimism that the season is truly turning.

This is why you’ll often find yellow woven into our spring bouquets. It is a joyful tone, bold enough to make a statement yet soft enough to pair with the tender greens and pale blushes that follow.

Seasonal Yellow Flowers in Melbourne

Every region has its own signs of spring. Here in the Dandenong Ranges and across Melbourne’s east, yellow comes alive through:

• Daffodils – bright and playful, often the first flowers to appear.

• Wattle – golden and fragrant, a distinctly Australian marker of spring.

• Ranunculus in warm tones – unfolding layer by layer into luminous cups of colour.

These are the blooms that shape our first seasonal arrangements, harvested fresh from the farm and styled into artful compositions for gifting and keeping.

Gifting with Yellow Flowers

Whether it is for a birthday, a sympathy gesture, or a simple reminder of love, yellow flowers make a thoughtful choice. Their brightness carries comfort as well as joy, a way of saying I’m thinking of you with warmth and sincerity.

As a luxury florist in Melbourne, we design our spring arrangements to highlight these tones without overwhelming them, letting yellow shine alongside complementary shades of green, blush, and ivory. Each bouquet is a celebration of what the season gives us, grown slowly and gathered with care.
