Flowery Warmth for Wintry Days

 #DailyFlowers

Well 2021 has come in and strangely enough the weather has been kind of reminiscent of early December evenings even in Mumbai. It is breezy and there's a definite nip in the air! But nature-wise this is the best season as flowers bloom aplenty

And flowers are not just those that nature puts forth, every flower whether created, recreated or copied brings forth vibrancy, gorgeousness and a long-lasting beauty. This blogger received a beautiful New Year gift from @DerajBoutique, which is shared here

Magic lies in the sender's wishes
The absolute warmth and caring that it dishes
This lovely handmade card
Tells us with good friends around, life is not so hard

Shashi honored the blogger with his very kind words: Hi everyone in the #DailyFlowers community. Among the good things of 2020, it was your sharing of beautiful flowers everyday. You all shared a greater wealth beyond anything, that is your good spirits. @Kirti did a wonderful job with verses. This was on a neighbors mail box.

Whether as nature intended or human re-creations
Flowers bring forth a plethora of emotions
Joy, love, peace, harmony, all lessons we learn
As we meet them at every turn

Shalini decided to visit a nursery: Rajdhani nursery had these hibiscus in different shades...I remember "studying" the flower for our botany class in school. All I remember are the names of parts - stamen, stigma, style, sepals, etc. And that's the end of today's gyanvardhan :-p

Once a humble red flower
Varied hues today it does on us shower
Raised from just a wayside shrub
To the garden's pride of place and conversation hub

Vivek had time on his hands so decided to pick up the brush and paint: Having time on my hands I decided to paint the windows.

Free time brought a painter to the fore
Brush met window and a design to adore
Was etched onto the frame
Where white and yellow stepped up the game

As usual Shashi began the day, with memories that will bloom again: Have a great Sunday #DailyFlowers

Baby pinks lovingly in a bowl placed
The room they so very graciously graced
Their hues soothing and soft
Ensure our spirits through the day stay aloft

Shalini to a winter wedding went and surprises instead of food focused on flowers instead: Delhi winter weddings have these awesome lamps for heat in an outdoor setting. But thanks to #DailyFlowers, my attention was on the flower arrangement there! Have a great #SundayMorning!

Flowers are always the focal point
To everything else offering a natural counterpoint
You would think among the wedding finery, they would in the background fade
But flowers with their vibrancy can put to shame any shade

This gorgeous purple facing the sun
Looks like its having great fun
Vivek did it long admire
To share with us was his desire
The photographer couldn't wait
His composition is quite great

Archana some more roses shared
These lovely colors have well in winter fared
Pinks, oranges do mightily grow
In Indian winters, they put on a dazzling show

From pinks and oranges, we come to bright yellows
Resting places and honey givers are these gorgeous fellows
Nature's tiny creatures, two bees can be seen
One quite openly, the other you need to carefully screen
