"Sweet temptress Zinnia beckons from the sky the butterfly." - by poet
How eagerly and easily you grow,
lovely Zinnia, and in late spring,
an explosion of bright colors you show
to those who pass by you. What cheer you bring!
Purple, orange, yellow, red, peach and pink -
you wear those colors well, and butterflies
adore your hues! They come to you and drink
your nectar sweet, which at your center lies.
Wonderfully you bloom until late fall,
worshiping the sun. You show such power,
for hummingbirds and bees are in your thrall.
For friendship, you are the perfect flower
because with strength you always persevere.
This makes you, Zinnia, forever dear.
