So tangerine apricot carrot colored and marmalade,
Blooms graced the garden of warm sunshine and shade.
Orange were rich dahlias where hummingbirds hummed,
With a rare beauty which left the daylight stunned!

Over with the blues, skies of chiffon clouds danced,
All of a summer, while huge marigold sun entranced!
Orange were the butterflies, searching for delights, 
Whereas flame robins flounced and sang day and night!

Hi, Evelyn! I’ve seen yellow gardens, & red/pinks & varied, but never saw or imagined such a varied fire of orange species. My breath would be stolen, bending under trees to meet such a sight! You are turning into VanGogh of words!
