#DailyFlowers
There are stories everywhere, esp. in Nature. All of her creations script their own tales, whether short or long, black, white or colorful, but script, sing, present they do. We too have stories today, stories in color in a few lines. So without ado, let's get started.
A common sight in Delhi right now. Soon silk cotton strands (semal ki ruyi) will be floating around everywhere, accompanied by: Coincidentally a cousin from Pune shared a close up of the flower
The first story comes from the in-season silk cotton tree
Whose flowers are blooming in a gleeful spree
They do not just the trees branches grace
The tiny cotton fluffs fly into every nook, cranny and space
Asmita: will you sweep the lawn? Me: why ? The frangipani adds color, let it be.
Asmita: you lazy smartass! What’s your verdict? A rose growing on a marigold tree.... am I that good a gardener? Or a sly photographer?
Some refuse to sweep the garden clean
They say the fallen frangipani petals add to its sheen
Bring forth a pix of two different close-growing flowers
And claim to have awesome gardening powers
Spring has come to my parents' balcony
Spring makes its presence felt
Colorful flowers are what the season's has dealt
Everywhere you look, colors do glow
They put on an amazing show
A glimpse of my uncles garden and his collection of Bougainvillea
Bougainvilleas occupy pride of place
Uncle's garden they do grace
Colors vivid, some unseen
They all deserve to be treated like queens
Along with pinks, yellows and oranges range
Their shades and hues merrily exchange
Places and ranks up and down
Their brilliance chases away all frowns
Sometimes, some real beauties cross my way
Shared by friends near and far away
Then do memories come to fore
Of fun-filled times, changing seasons and more
Music and flowers in Baltimore; Cousins at a flower show
When flowers and people combine
They form a union divine
Deep pinks and the musician play a lively tune
While young cousins share a pleasant afternoon
Flowers coming from Chacha's farm
With their brilliant colors they do us charm
Sing a good morning greeting
A strong rhythm they keep repeating
Las Vegas trips are memories dear
With glowing flowers they are so near
And then there's a bloom so white
Its central yellow is the guiding light
A good excuse to get up and go
Daily Flowers put on quite the show
Colors bright, purple and deep pink
Eyes, minds and souls they do deeply link
