An Abecedarian For Flowers

Apple blossoms in abundance; sweet aroma in the air. Begonias burst with brilliance. Blue bells pop up everywhere. Cherry blossoms cheer with pink; corn flowers cluster blue. Dandelions dance with wind; Daffodils dance too. Easter Lily, always early, blooms exquisite white. Forget-me-nots, fresh-picked by tots, are a Mom’s delight. Geraniums, garden-fresh, are growing graciously. Hollyhocks I plucked when young my heart is blessed to see. Irises with leaves like swords paint rainbows on the lawn. Johnny-jump-ups have their purple yellow clothing on! Kangaroo paws, so exotic - come to us sun-kissed. Lilac bushes, lush with lovely flowers can’t be missed! Marigold, like its friend the Sun, is glowing too. Narcissus, so many types of it, now bloom anew. Orchids of the warmer climes, one-of-a-kind are they! Peonies, so pretty, and perky poppies are at play. Queen-of-lace with gracious face, how elegant is she! Ranunculus, a Buttercup, greets us radiantly. Sweet pea, looking precious, up the trellis climbs Tansies, yellow buttons, also love the temperate times. Uva-Ursi, on long stems, in late spring's breeze will sway. Violet’s vibrant color gives its name away! Wax flowers help fill up bouquets on spring wedding days. Xeranthemum, a sunflower, flaunts her sunny ways. Yellow wood anemone starts flowering in May. Zinnia comes later. For Zinnia and others, the sun just has to stay!
