Queen of the Hedgerow

The absolute surprise of your face brings joy to the Spring in snow’s place. The royal, velveteen, purple hues glorify the chill morning dew. England, bonnie England, Buckinghamshire birthed the little flower of my hearts desire. Whether Johnny-jump-up or Pied Heart’s Ease these colorful dickens cause nary a sneeze! Tiny faces peek from hedgerows and bushes making our flower beds look oh, so luscious. A grand variety of Russian yellow or white each and every wee monkey a rare delight. So, to you dear Pansy I say, “Hip Hip Hurray!” May there ne’r come a Spring you’re not on display!
