Magnolia In Mongolia

MAGNOLIA  IN  MONGOLIA


Floral gem  in  a street  market 
Beautiful  by any yardstick

Offered by  flower vendor
In crowded street of Ulan Bator

I did a  circuit of the market
Searching for another nugget

But only ever saw  - one,
With such beauty to stun

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

NOTE     Often thought of as  semi-subtropical  flowering plants, magnolias are actually native to central and east  Asia, including Mongolia. Ulan Bator is the capital city of Mongolia.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed New Year.
