These posts expanded beyond the blog, went onto Twitter, where friends generously shared their flowers; these are posted here with their permissions. As usual images are theirs, the descriptions mine
The day's narrative was begun by Deepak
Love the geometry of these blooms
And pictured as they are, truly seem to cut surrounding gloom
Flowers, brilliant red
Lending their sprightliness to the day ahead
GG came in with a rarity:
The rarest of rare
Shows Nature's care
On humans does shower
Her blessings via gorgeous flowers
The Blue Lotus in #Lucknow's botanical gardens (pix taken 13 years ago)
And, Shalini followed that up with one from IHC-Delhi (pix taken last year)
The Lotus, a beauty unfurling
Each petal, slowly uncurling
Revealing slowly its depths
So that we may be truly blessed
Among these gems, how shall I my little flower place
'Tis truly overwhelmed with such grace
But, promise I did make
To share its humble glories for everyone's sake
The wrap up was given by Shashib
Which I really do not know how to do
My humble meter, cadence and rhyme
Is only meant for passing time
To bring forth a smile is all i want
Lots of leeway please, this hackneyed verse-maker grant!
Rhyme and nature....amazing....back to the days of wordsworth!!
