Pachyphytum is a small genus of succulents in the family Crassulaceae, native to Mexico. Lovely rounded leaves and nice flowers!
sugar almond plant
neat silvery light green leaves
reddish-pink flowers!
Sundown creeps,
across adorned amber,
sky whose welkin,
shades volte face,
as evening edges,
into cosmic chakra,
of visual feasts,
orange, pink, purple,
prelude which emblazon,
point of day exodus,
atrophied moon winking,
mystic morph of,
dwindling halo,
to homeward bound,
throngs thirsting,
for redress within,
winter jasmine enclave,
cabal, clique, cluster,
in shrunken retreat,
from dreary toil,
nudge from nightfall,
whose cryptic code,
a dark art patois,
exemplified by,
eastern screech owl,
whose stocky medium,
and varied volume,
that twilight tremolo,
purring incognito,
among other creatures,
wet soil genus,
brisk firefly flash,
in town backyards,
wing rubbing katydid,
tree top rasp,
or amid green bush,
chirpy cricket,
midget burrow dweller,
allow oneself to wallow awhile,
in evening habitat,
in all its allure
the peenits
long
long peewee
i go peepee
from ma weewee

By this eye
Can tell I
Receptive, besides, to my
Quaint genus
Dim, down-bent
Frailly leant
Lower still, to it what's sent:
Smiles o'erplus!
Bloom, minute.
Snowdrop cute.
Others? For his sake stay mute!
Each scent suss!
I love to use botanical names
for Australian native flora
Reminds me of a horse ride
the rhythm of a canter
So many common names
among the native gum
Blues, reds,greys and several kinds of white
Known only to locals as a rule of thumb
Latin names define colour, growth
or even where they're found
Eucalyptus each one distinctive
among seven hundred species that abound
Genus eucalyptus, includes nearly all the gums found on the Australian continent
Flowers of a brilliant hue. yellow, orange, red and white
Attract the native bees, collecting nectar
often hear them buzzing whilst in flight
Twenty four thousand species
of Australian native plants
Grevilleas, melaleucas, acacias, leptospernum, callistems and more
All hosting many animals
possums, goannas, koalas, birds bees and ants
How wide, that world
Must be. Needs be!
Unseen, unheard, when for its life
Is but left us
By means, which mind's
O'erfanciful
To count that of, catagorize
Every genus.
Twelve days of Christmas
Girls and boys meet and blush
Origins of known and unknown class
Species and genus of mystical plush
Hopeful of existence in various regions
Joyful in resilience, remnants of temperate legions
Twelve days of mingling and bantering
Herbs and plants of healthy living
Each day of Christmas displayed and waving
Twelve days while smiling, sold for healing
Boys and girls named strangely
Titled or dubbed scientifically
Kale, Rosemary, Chives, Cloves, Chard, Cilantro
Basil, Sage, Thyme, Balm, Lettuce, Oregano
What other names have you known or met?
Write them down and stay connected whether you are dry or wet!
real winter roses
peeking through the winter snow~
unexpected prize
white, pink, purple, black
oft displayed at Christmas time~
joining poinsettias
nature's unique gift
a genus of evergreen~
offering roses
INTRO
From Little Lucy Creek up to Signal Hill
The cry of the crow cracks the morning still
Since the first smoke wisp curled round his bill
That crooked smile hides his secret still
The cardinal wakens wise old eyes
When the blues of the jay match the evening skies
Since feather took flight it's been no surprise
Bones yearn to bend lest they ossify
Since feather found bone in an iridescent way
That old rainbow rogue holds mysterious sway
He'll harry the sparrow and harass the jay
Likely stay that way til the very last day
BRIDGE
The class of the order is the genius of the genus
The keys to the kingdom of the family tree
Round his neck like the locket of a beautiful Venus
But cunning is the gem of his jew-el-ry
OUTRO
From Crooked Creek down to the old stone mill
The river of life holds its mystery still
The water may tumble but the tale won't spill
Til the last sand fills up the crooked bill
Great T-rumposaurus meanus!
Adolph and Don share a genus
With teensy wiener
Was Hitler meaner
Or Trump with his weeny p-e-n-i-s?
Juniper- a genus of evergreen
Under the cypress family list;
Neath scented leaves, new berries are green.
It had a place in mythology's mist.
Protection, Long life, Purification
Expressed in religious celebration
Rejecting evil spirits in between.
arecas, palm trees,
and genus cocos compete ~
overripe fruits fall
We all start out like seedlings
Just emerging from the earth,
Alike in that we’re each of us
A product of a birth.
Depending on our genus,
We may grow up tall and straight
Or be scraggly or bristly,
Rooted down by luck or fate.
We’ll be nurtured and be nourished
Or be totally ignored,
Grow in gardens gently tended
Or be trampled and abhorred.
Some of us will sport some flowers
To embellish and adorn,
While for others there’s deception
Waiting in a hidden thorn.
Though there’s sun and rain and shelter,
Nature doesn’t really care
If each seedling has an equal shot,
For life just isn’t fair.
One of nature's pleasant, worthwhile assets,
Achillidesbianor Cramer, old
Latin a bearer of birth called, genus,
name, Chinese peacock, the Papilio
butterfly, Papilionidae lure
six pink bird-shaped spots slumber body framed
each outer black wings semicircular
pink spot on the tail corner makes it claimed
presence in the evergreen forest haunts
that delicate nature misleading trails
as graceful flutters darting and dash flaunts
its fragrant scales attract mates it avails
this neatly wrapped butterfly packaged deal,
rare grandness and extravagant appeal.
