Three purple pansies
Caught running wild
Dehydrated and frolicking
Out in the midday sun
Wearing nothing but foliage
A magnificent green
Bringing out their violas
Looking a bit shunned
Until I poured them some
Rehydrating the fun

Red silk kimono
Attracts the morning humming
Bird to my shoulder
Perhaps, it wasn’t
The flowers or bright colors,
But the sweet center
Wildflowers abound
Roaming the outskirts of town
Thriving without sound
~~~
Dotting the landscape
Of California terrain
Cheering up my day
If anyone knows what that last one is please enlighten me.
Shines brightly with joy
Little rays of color pop
Here, there, everywhere
On my parakeets feathers
Springing up from my tulips
* 2016 holiday bouquet
Overnight Morning Glory seeds sprout with life
Pretty Daylilies* bloom in an array of colors yearly
Despite what you may think purple Pansy’s aren’t weak
Sunny Marigolds offer a safe bet for your money
Annual Impatiens grow quickly and require no manuals
Hearty Sunflowers stoop over to weep at the loss of heat
Perennials are sustainablyĀ preferred over Biennials
– Inspired by flower power among other things, and I’m super excited about volunteering to work on a Rose Parade float tomorrow.
From the foliage
A fire dancer emerges
From green speckled leaves
Unfurling its bold beauty
Attesting summer is near
I got real dirty
Spring is in a big hurry
Day spent gardening
New color splashes
Greenery, white and purple
Simple extravagance
Sago palms center
Of attention cornering
Both ends for balance
Fertilized the dormant
Bulbs giving Fire Dancers hope
For annual show
Oh my aching back
The tomatoes have to wait
It’s time to relax
