Spring Flowers - Poetry Contest

Amid the Amazing Myriad Spring Flowers

Amaryllis splendid beauty, Christmas bells of pride thrill us
Birds of Paradise in flight making its opera debut in its crane plumage crown 
Calla Lilly’s endless white elegance bouquet, a peek-a-boo lavender funnel play 
Daffodils, shoo-in to scoop arm loads, out of the cold, into the morning sunlight spills
Ephemeral, short-lived and quickly fading beauties, trilliums, and harbinger of spring
Freesia innocence captures your heart trust with its fragrances and sword beauty 
Gaura, a wand burst of delicate stars as bee-blossoms sing delightful springtime
Hyacinths, sincerity of fragrant with folded leaves a play bouquet of stars  
Impatiens, touch-me-not to bloom anew Bizzy-Lizzy in all its playful trim 
Jack-in-the-pulpit Arisaema triphyllum striped showy pining lover male-female as one
Kangaroo Paws their long beautiful stalks attract birds to perch and sip its nectar
Lily of the Valley flowers of spring sweetly scented miasmatic wedding bells 
Marigolds brightly shine in bur-pee garden spicing up a dish fresh, and new
Nightshade, adorable soothing little green elfish hat and long flowing pink skirt    
Orchids a touch of elegance in its uniquely posture, delicate in its buoyant poetry  
Peonies, shades of red to white or yellow fragrant strong and hardy the Flower Fairy 
Quinces magical splash of color with thorns heralds spring 
Rue, sour herb of grace symbol of purity deterrent kitties and snakes  
Sweet Peas reaching to the heavens embraced by the breeze, then flowers fade
Tansy yellow bitter buttons hang dry then boiled to clear amber-yellow dye    
Uva-Ursi, grape of the bear blowing pink urn kisses into the air 
Voodoo Lily, breathtaking with its height and beauty, not its foul odor attracting buzz
Windflower, star sprinkle flowers in your garden, but easies stomach and cough
Xeronema  Callistemon sheer dazzling red toothbrush look perched on cliff top
Yellow Anemone, pure and fresh sleeps at night and wakes at a hint of sun
Zinnias sway with its parade of orange tutus charming wings flavor its beauty

I see you had a FEW that were different from mine. But we all seemed to do about the same flowers for those difficult letters. WELL done, Eve, and big congratulations.
