Deep hues, they greet...

Vivek decided to lead today, with a lovely story: We came across this during our morning walk. The missus liked it so much....in the evening she got a surprise gift: A sari of the same color.

Blooms every morning a deep red
A distant signal for the eyes to be led
Plucked by many, offered to the Lord
For showers, blessings and defense of his sword

 

Cyprus Vine

Corrected by Anjali

From Deepak, come 

Lovely pinks and greens do the morning greet
Set the cheery tones for everyone to meet
Colors vibrant and rich all a-glow
Like a small stream they merrily flow

 My flower comes courtesy a good school friend, Anjali, those were the days...

Is only fair that today's beauty be in line with those before
This beautiful flower tell tales deep and more
Standing upright and true
This is one deep hue

 

Double Petunias

Is any garden complete without 

 Roses, they do rule our gardens
Beautiful colors & fragrances that mellow our hearts
Speak of friendship, love, 100 emotions and 1000 pardons
True companions to Cupid's darts

 Roses from GG

I have no issue, with quoting the bard

A rose by any other name is just as sweet

Made for people to greet and meet

A flower that holds emotions so profound

So many meanings, they sometimes confound

 From Shinjini

Not to be outdone, Shalini came in with this beautiful trailing display

Draped so neatly, full of blooms

The evergreen Bougainvillea looms

Over gates, fences, riches on display

Amidst its myriad colors nature's creatures play

From ShashiB

A profusion of blooms, such cheery yellows

Do beckon us and hail well met fellows

Our walks they brighten

Our daily stresses lighten
