Tardy Tulips Tantalize

Tardy tulips delight,
First spotted in early May morning light.
Grape hyacinth clusters muster too,
The energy to push up through.

Warming sun with still cool soil,
Begins the season I’ll  happily toil.
Seeds to sow,
Annuals and veggies to grow.

Iris still but bundles of sheaves, 
Reticent roses sprout tiny leaves.
Sassy daffodils declare - we were here before
And now open still more.

Nicely done. Our daffodils are just poking their heads up.
