Garden Treasure
The rhododendron is my state flower.
In nature its blossom is pink,
But horticulturists have made the bloom
Any color of which you can think.
I go to the garden store to buy one,
To plant in my garden at home.
I take much longer to choose my new plant
Than I do in writing this poem.
"It will grow very fast " the salesman said,
"And blossom in purple and red."
