Poem Title:
Poem
Amassed in flamboyant Azalea blooms when my garden is free of the cold. Bird of Paradise, dressed in purple and orange, wear their colors so bold. Crocus bloom when the mounds of snow finally melt and say, "Goodbye." Daffodils display delightful faces and seem to be greeting me with a, "Hi." Easter Cactus in pink and salmon, adds bursts of color in hanging pots. Favorite in my garden are the carpets of romantic little Forget-Me-Nots. Gardenia shrubs line my walkways with sweetest scent to tempt the bees. Hyacinths are compact flowers on a single stem, but cause me to sneeze. In early Spring my beds of Irises trumpet that a new season has begun. Jasmine on the vine attracts hummingbirds in my garden spots full of sun. Kerria bushes keep my yard enhanced in shades of chartreuse and gold. Lily of the Valley is said to bring lots of happiness to the young and old. Mock Orange, a pretty perfumed flower, prim and proper in purest white. Nandina, Heavenly Bamboo, have bronzed red leaves of medium height. Oleander clusters are a riot of color on the end of green foliage so tall. Peonies add charm and grace in pink pastels all along my garden wall. Queen of the Prairie in the landscape, reach up to the sun and the sky. Rusty Foxglove is a late Spring perennial, I find very pleasing to the eye. Sharing a treasured vase with them, I will select the lovely Shasta Daisy. Three Lobe Spirea (Bridal Veil), is so easy to grow it could make me lazy. Under the shade trees grow Urn Bromiliads, on driftwood from the river. Verbena is Queen of the rock garden, in shades of burgundy she'll deliver. Wisteria, in white or lavender, hangs in sadness until it withers away to die. Xylosma blooms in masses of berries, in hedge rows of separation they lie. Yarrow's blossoms are medicinal, likes dry soil and an occasional drought. Zesty Zephyr Lily can grow in the wild but it's one I could never do without. {April 23rd, 2016 ~ Shadow Hamilton's "Spring Flowers" Contest}
