Spring Flowers

Ambitious Amaryllis arrive soon,
Bloodroots  beauty appears to bloom.
Colourful Camellias  grow in shade,
Daffodils  dance in garden parade.

English-daisies  pretend as innocent,
Freesia  flowers friendly and fragrant.
Gleeful is the glamorous Geranium,
Hyacinths  cling in cluster they come. 	

In too many shades Irises  are seen,
Jovial and joyous are the Jasmine.
Kind are the keen Kangaroo paws,
Lamb's ear  some attention it draws.

Maltese Cross  active and anxious,
Naive and nervous are the Narcissus.
Orchids  are obedient with open-eyes,
Pampered Pansies, peep in small size.

Quince  flower is bright orange-red, 
Rockrose  arrive as shrub and spread.
Stylish smile surrounds Sweet pea,
Trillium  flower has petals only three.

Umbrella Magnolia  shines like star,
Virginia bluebells  stunning they are.
Wallflowers  stay silent and are shy,
Xyris  watches with her yellow eye.

Yarrow  are tiny tightly together,
Zestful is Zephyr  in lovely weather.
Nature's colour in flowers is seen,
Among all seasons Spring is queen.
