Springtime Wannabe

Sweet pea, Apple blossom, Anemone, Brodea, Peach blossom, Amaryllis, Delwood, Freesia, Ranunculus, Calla lily, Bird of Paradise. I think each of these smell very nice. Needing more, these are a must. Gardenia, Hollyhock, Narcissus, Tulip, Wax flower, Seeded Eucalyptus. I’m neither gardener nor a green thumb. Must I say it, I’m rather flower dumb. Every flower I plant quickly begins to fade. Where to plant, what to plant, I don’t know the trade. Alas I try every year to have a great show, Not a lack of effort, just a lack of know. Now if you see me in the yard digging in the dirt, Ask God a prayer for the plants not to hurt. Because each year I do ask God to forgive me, Even though I fail, I’m a Springtime Wannabe.
