A Flower's Gift

Scarlet sage' path... feet rambling about the hill of a quite woodland with Carolina willows and southern magnolias. Lanky short-leaf pines shade the milk-pea verdant shrubs; petrels watch the swift, mottled squirrels climb black oaks while a cavalcade stirs them. Hyacinths in bloom have a stronger, sweeter scent than the white jasmines... is fragrance a flower's gift to all lovers strolling by?
