In our garden the sweet peas are climbing I can’t wait until they are in flower The sun’s out I see its face smiling but it hides at the approaching shower My garden enjoys the rain drops and quickly the deluge will slow I love the petrichor once the drops stops And I observe the most glorious rainbow!

Aww, charming take on the rain and how valuable it is. The flowers, the plants, the lovely smell after a rain, and of course the rainbow are all blessings. A beautiful reminder in times of sadness to keep looking up! Loved the pic, too. Lovely win for you, Jan, and a fave for me. Hugs ~ John

There is never a shortage of rainbows in Hawai'i, and it is ever so easy to find the end of one, but the menehune do not leave pots of gold there, just fragrant flowers! Aloha! Rico

There us a large dose of poetic licence as they are only about 6 inches tall lol - the seeds were from my late mother in law's garden and I found them in our seed box and miraculously they germinated after many years:-) hugs jan xx
