Flowers Wild

The rains bring forth a blaze of flowers wild:
a royal catch, an iron weed,
a color shower.
Wild blue, the flox; gold ticks from seed,
dainty bluebells ring out the hour.
In winter’s grip no longer domiciled,
arranged according to a plan
unknown to man
that shouts with glee that spring has reconciled.

Very nice, Jeff!... And now I can trade in my Apple Watch for bluebells which ring out the hour. ~ Mr. Economical, though some label me 'Cheap.'
