Pink

Of all the colours under the sun, Pink must be my favourite one. That's why cherry blossoms score high, they bloom outside my door. Lilies also come in pink. Their scent is divine I think. So I plant them where I can see. Outside while I'm in having tea. On my table in my porch. Delicate pink orchids now bloom forth. Pink pansies on the piano stand. In front of my ceramic jazz band. On my deck, pink roses overflow. From a bush planted long ago. Such a girlie colour pink. The one that makes the boys wink.

Thank you Supraja. I came to gardening late in life, which is strange as I was married to a gardener. Like all busman's holidays, he left behind a wilderness in our own garden.

But Why? And why do men wink at women?
