There's a time for rhymes, time for verse

 #DailyFlowers

Rhymes says one, poetry says another, verses says a third! But one thing they agree on the pix are brilliant, the accompanying lines are fun! Ok, so be it! Here are some more lines, am sorry, rhymes!

Shalini went to the nursery, came back with lotus blooms that she then lovingly arranged... and thence begins the tale

Approved by one feline, disliked by another
Shalini's cats set out to up the other
Whitey gave his blessings to the Lotus blooms lot
Jugnoo decided the arrangement was not too hot
Mayhaps if she had not added the yellow
Jugnoo would remained affable and mellow
A swipe, maybe a push sent the flowers tumbling
Poor lotus and amaltas were treated to a humbling

Co-Contributors have traveled far and wide, to scour for blooms that would in ride to save their day, and be put on display:

Please welcome Udayji to the flowers blog
His flowers hitherto did Shalini in log
Blazing reds known as the Flame of the Woods
Varied colors earlier have made their way to the hood

Ixora coccinea - Flame of the Woods

We have a flower enthusiast in our midst
All those identifiers that we missed
He is putting forth along with the blooms
Such amazing pink-lavender plumes
That from their branches skyward skip
Dainty, delicate beauties on Nature's trip

Mexican Petunia/Desert Petunia/Ruellia Simplex &
Lagerstroemia speciosa/Queen Crape Myrtle/Pride of India  


Raindrops keep falling on my head
No flowers, leaves are shared in their stead!
Did the bloom go a-missing
Or was it angry, the camera was leaves a-kissing
A mystery that only Vivek can clear
Whither did the rose disappear?


As if to atone for missing flowers
Vivek returned with colorful leaves
They showcased their awesome powers
While Deepak shared Nature's other weaves
Blooms known/unknown with each other did meld
Raised the intensity of adoration in which they are held

Is it just me
Or can you also see
Shashi has found a bed of flowers
In many colors with diffuse powers
These he does to us bring
Our eyes rejoice, hearts do sing
But we wonder, where all does he go
Captures such beauties, puts on such a show

Vishnu was called out today
So he brought in a fruit to up his display
Deep blues & dusky pinks already have their spot
But the blue he said was a long shot
Who's the blogger to say nay
When such gorgeousness in does sway

Drumsticks make for yummy food
For your health they are very good
But before they can from the branches sprout
Small white flowers must have their flowering bout
Such a blessed tree does Shalini in bring
In full fruiting glory it does sing

Wildflowers by the canal do grow
Their untamed beauty puts on a show
Along with them whites do prance
Seems very much like a choreographed dance
