Winter Breezes, Flowers, Merry XMas!

 #DailyFlowers

Days roll into one another, just the other day was Dec 23, then 24th and today is Dec 25 and Xmas and celebration time! Time for renewal, for togetherness, for joy and family and of course carols, warm cider drinks, snow and sleigh rides. But Covid has attacked these also, however the spirit of the festival and its warmth and cheer still remain! 

Merry Christmas, Folks! Season's Greetings and the Holiday Spirit be with one and all

 Come Christmas and reds and greens abound
The poinsettias these ably resound
Carols, jingles,  midnight bells
These decorations beauty swell

 Meet the Santa of the flower world :) Merry Christmas!

A beauty in deep red tinged with white
Blooms strongly on Xmas morning bright
Stands like a blazing torch amid the greens and dark
That's a perfect home run out of the park

Never been a cuter Santa!  Christmas Eve table from a friend. Edible roses too! Merry Christmas ye all !

The Xmas splendor
In all its familial grandeur
The sharing of the feast
Where cares worries matter the least
Merry Xmas, one and all
To the cheer and spirit of the season we call!

 A Festival that makes people happy, peaceful and celebrating with friends is great! 

 Like the Orchid that keeps us company
There are other flowers that daily us accompany
Across life and in festivals happy
Celebrations with friends keep us lively and snappy

Amid the reds and whites and green
Are vivid oranges and yellow serene
Dec 25  has glorious blooms
And the photographer in happily zooms

Covid stopped the world in its tracks, it taught us to value what we rushed by earlier, and this reminder was aptly shared  by Shashi

#DailyFlowers We were flowers once before the season changed. We were a always here, blooming in the summer age hibernating in the winter. You passed us many times but had no time to admire the beauty we created for you until the world  stood still & you stopped to admire 

Truer words were never more spoken
With Covid the hurly-burly's spell was broken
We stopped to see, admire
What nature in her magnificence to create never did tire

Good morning #dailyflowers! Pics from yesterday's walk

Sai walked in with two gorgeous stunners
A sunset and an amazing hibiscus were award winners
Not sure what the sunset was telling the flower
But together they enforce nature's majestic power

My morning is made with the beautiful sunrise from @VISHSAI!  It's been some time since I saw my own  On second thoughts, is that the sunset? Either way it's beautiful...These lovely roses are from my sister's terrace. Hope they brighten up your #goodmorning #DailyFlowers :) 

Roses glorious, roses pink
Of the winter morn, they deeply did drink
Shining like a beacon bright
Their beauty our senses does ignite

Would that Vivek be far behind, nay, not so! My money is on the sunset. @shashib  is right. I hadn’t paid much attention to flowers prior to the pandemic. Life is not a rosy path but here at #DailyFlowers we certainly try to make it one

What profusion, what confusion
Where to look, colors in diffusion
Blooms aplenty, blooms a-peach
Roses everywhere, all within reach


Blended images: Kakul & Vivek; Archana's garden & Shalini

Winters are not just for roses
Glorious mums captured in poses
Yellows, purple-pinks and creamy-whites
They are truly the gardener's delight

Vivek did recourse to his better half (@AsmitaT2) take
And in doing so, upped his stake
A dew-painted hibiscus for all to see
As the drops prance on the flower in full glee
