Caren Krutsinger Poet Rhyme

Snag a Tango Hummingbird Mint Bush

Beautiful bush called tango hummingbird mint
Glows a fiery blue with oranges in a glint,
Hummingbirds, honey bees, butterflies too,
Love this plant with the orange and the blue.

I have been trying to buy these bushes for a while.
I am always polite and use my best smile.
I call them on the phone and give them my credit card,
Always out-of-stock, as these are amazing out in the yard.

I have come to a conclusion; there is only one way.
I have thought of it for a year, six months, and a day.
The only way to snag a tango hummingbird mint
Is to find a start off a neighbor, and not a skinflint.

Michelle Faulkner October 17, 2018 at 1:20 PM Sounds beautiful, great contrasting image of 'fiery blue/oranges in glint', also love line 'thought about it for a year/six months and a day,' excellent! Caren Krutsinger October 17, 2018 at 1:22 PM Thank you Michelle. I see these in gardening catalogs, but when I try to order them they are always gone, so they must be even more amazing than their photographs which are amazing!
