Allamanda in April slowly open its trumpets around posts that look like 
Buttercups of honey for bees to dive in to replenish their striped bellies
Crocus's yellow stigmas that flavour our food are a blessing by...

What I Love About Spring

At the astronomical vernal equinox
Appears the first signs of spring.
A new breath of life
When winter’s snow completes its ageing.

the Gladiola is never sad
says words with a smile.

Tulips are the pun

To find matching blooms took her several hours

There were nine pretty roses in a shade of pale gold
Such a delicate fragrance they’re a joy to behold

Lilac and lemon...

I don’t want flowers at my funeral
I should add this too my will
What use are they to me when I am dead
I’d prefer them now if I were ill

I love their sheer beauty
This no one...

primrose, hollyhock, hibiscus, not sure yet
researching blossoms, but so many look similar
All dainty, lovely, beautiful, from a variety of regions

hellebores, heliotropes, geraniums too.
their gorgeousness parades around the world
Some dance all year, others live but a...
