Salix gracilistyla ‘Mount Aso’
—————————————————-
Small fuzzy blooms tinged with dark pink
Surprising cheerful winter flowers
Softer to the touch than you think
I could just pet them for hours
*
This plant is a new one for me
One I am glad I got to see
I think this is one for the yard
Avoiding petting will be hard.

Cinderella
——————————————-
Perhaps because I could never
find shoes I liked that would fit me
size 12 and cute, I mean never,
*
out of frustration it hit me;
if I want colorful footwear
departing the mall is the key.
*
To procure some footwear with flair
I need to get to the greenhouse.
I find all the shoes I want there.
*
Don’t have to match these shoes to blouse,
slipper orchids are quite divine
just need these shoes from the hothouse.
*
To them I make a quick beeline,
They are sure to fit every time.

Winter flowers bloom
Colorful
Moment in gray day.

Dreary winter day
Rains, gray clouds, dirty puddles
Terra firma sunshine

(A Collum Lune)
On the occasion of Robert Burns’ 259 birthday yesterday.
—————————————
My love is like red red roses
Uttered Bobby Burns to she
Newly sprung in June he supposes
Good thing he didn’t say it to me.
*
I know those new red red roses
Aphids and beetles do assail
While fragrance goes up our noses
They are blitzed by fungus and scale.
*
Bobby Burns you can keep your rose
I have no interest in the work.
Why is it a red rose you chose?
You didn’t do your homework, jerk.
