Sky blue and sapphire, sharp angles and points
These annual flowers never disappoint
Amidst a sea of ferny feathery leaves
Soft delicate look definitely deceives
Angled flowers fade, curvy seed heads appear
Purple striped sage green pods house seeds of next year
Love-in-a-mist some say it grows like a weed
Returning year after year from those small seeds
