Miss Maroon

The prior property owners planted the most beautiful flowers. We took possession last December, and this is our first spring. For the first time, I noticed a lovely flower a few days ago and last Sunday afternoon, pointed it out to our neighbor. Upon seeing that flower, I sensed an air of stealth and utter secrecy, and as I stared at her, being arrested and captured by her beauty, I was mesmerized by her stunning presence. Why, it was one of the most beautiful maroon blossoms that I had ever seen. She is a Super Lily, and I have named her Miss Maroon. She and other lilies are growing at the foot of the second of four Crepe Myrtles, trees of which are causing me doubts about their flowering displays this year. Anyway, I must say that Miss Maroon pleases me well this year. The young pecan tree which grows about 15 feet away appears to have been shocked by a late freeze and is struggling for survival and might be calling it quits for this year. Miss Maroon's other neighbors are a scattering of red roses, marigolds, and a cactus plant whose beautiful yellow coloring I am greatly anticipating. But for now, it's all about Miss Maroon. 052523PS
