Flowers

Forsythia my friend, I still cannot not discern, does a fiddlehead unravel into a lacy fern? Lilly pads, such flowered floating seats for fortunate frogs. Monet’s favorite plant at his Giverny bog. Orchid. This word becomes a lyric in a beautiful song. A flower that is elegant, tranquil, and calm. Wisteria emanates from little pea shaped blooms, giving off a lovely, lavender perfume. Echinacea, “Gazuntite” A cousin to the daisy, whose name sounds like a sneeze. Lovely on a table with a crumpet and some tea. Rhododendrons, so large, pink and scarlet. A shrub that’s thick and quite exotic. Snapdragons are not dangerous at all, they often bloom right into fall. Those ruffly, curly, open leaves, beg " Come in for lunch, honey bees"

Interesting rhymes and such wonderful, vivid imagery here ... I loved the line, "Lilly pads such flowered floating seats for fortunate frogs." ... Utterly charming, Marikate!

Thank you Kelly. I love to write with alliteration, but I'm upset that I didn't correct my spelling before I posted this one. YIKES I am looking forward to my garden, now that spring is arriving. It made me smile to read the sentences you enjoyed. Hooray. :)

What a nice to say, thank you. To all my new daises "How do you do?" I am embarrassed that I had two spelling mistakes in this poem. I should know better. Thank you though for your lovely comment.

I'm so pleased you liked it. I'm very glad flowers are finally coming back into view. My favorites are Peonies and Gerber daisies, how about yours? I can't wait to greet them again :) Thank you for visiting my page, but pardon my careless spelling mistakes. YIKES!
