Flower Gardening

~
gentle white daisies
waving petals toward sun
beckon birds to flight
~
bright purple pansies
celebrate the warm season
with radiant smiles
~
naïve pink roses
hasten to open petals
where butterflies land
~
joyful red lilies
spread sensitive foliage
awakening bees
~
lavender hostas
lifting high above the plant
embracing sunshine
~

So Lovely Regina. I have a huge back yard where I have many gardens . I love to sit there in the summer enjoying the smells of the flowers. Roses are my favorites along with lilacs, Hollyhocks, lilies,pansies, and I plant lots of wild flowers to attract butterflies. I always have a border of marigolds to discourage the aphids who love the roses and hollyhocks. Love this poem. Thanks for sharing. God Bless, JB

I love flower gardening, but don't do it as much as I once did. I spent all my Summers in the garden at one time, but not so much these days... busy. Love to see your gardens. Bless you
