Flowers and Fragrance

A dozen pretty tulips
  grace her chateau
Ten yellow daffodills
  on her windowsill

Eight bright-red roses
  in a floral vase ~
Tickling her nose
  queen anne's lace

I can imagine the glory of the red roses surrounded by queen ann’s lace. I don’t think it grows well in Hawaii, but our roses sure do. Queen Ann’s lace is edible however it resembles hemlock to such a degree one needs to really know the difference before eating it. A lovely vision you paint Gershon. Blessings xxoo

Thank you for the insightful comment, Connie. Never knew Queen Anne's Lace and Hemlock were so similar. -- And didn't want to find out 'the hard way' either. Sunshine and Smiles, Gershon

12, 10 and 8 are the most magical numbers I know.
