Sunflower - Ring of Fire
Sunflower - Ring Of Fire
Of all the lovely flowers God has made,
there is one beauty that has touched my heart,
with petals marching round like on parade,
and graceful leaves attached that stand apart.
A work of art in gold with center, large
and raised, dark brown rimmed by a russet hue;
sunflower beauties, often seen in charge
in fields and gardens, standing tall in view.
Oh lovely ring of fire, your flames aglow,
like dancers poised at center, gracefully
sway to and fro, present your fiery show,
so beautifully mesmerizing me.

Note: 'Ring of Fire' is a 5-6 inch sunflower having golden petal edges and a ring of red surrounding the chocolate brown center. Decidedly different from other sunflowers, 'Ring of Fire' stands out in a crowd of plain gold or yellow flowers. 'Ring of Fire' plants may reach 4 to 5 feet tall, spreading 2 to 3 feet.
