Flowers

Forsythia my friend, I still cannot not discern, 
does a fiddlehead unravel into a lacy fern?

Lilly pads, flowered floating seats for fortunate frogs.
Monet’s favorite plant at his Giverny bog. 

Orchid. This word becomes a lyric in a beautiful song.  
A flower that is elegant, tranquil, and calm.

Wisteria emanates from little pea shaped blooms,
giving us a lavender, lovely perfume.

Echinacea, “Gazuntite”
A cousin to the daisy, whose name sounds like a sneeze.
Lovely on a table with a crumpet and some tea.

Rhododendrons, so large, pink and scarlet.
A shrub so thick and quite exotic.

Snapdragons are not dangerous at all, they often bloom right into fall.
Those ruffly, curly, open leaves, beg " Come in for lunch, honey bees"

Our Marigolds flower all year round - they carry a smug glow as they watch other flowers short lives. PS twins now thriving definitely identical, born 4 weeks pre-maturely.
