Heeding the Blooms' Call

 #DailyFlowers

 Even as the Pegasus scandal keeps playing out and countries respond with investigations, the ostrich's head is deeply buried in the sand and will remain in that cocoon for some more time; distractions are being built and brought forth -the Tokyo2020 Olympics are likely the biggest and most natural. A publishing house is made to toe the line, whether it truly will or not remains to be seen; even as regions the world over face the fury of over-gorged rivers and angry waters, life goes on...

To Goa in monsoons she went
From there riches sent
Left us all gaping
Even as she did some heat escaping
Beauties did she with camera capture
Many sent us into deep rapture
Flowers growing on the sand
Likely untended by human hands
Nature's wonders frozen in place
From within the camera showing such grace

It seems the call for red is still going strong
For willy-nilly, contributors are playing along
There's Udayji with Canna red bright
And Shashi with various blooms captured just right

 Back in focus are colored leaves
Nature's graciousness it weaves
Into parts that seldom attention attract
Gives them a beauty that has a massive impact

Flowers shiny, flowers bold
The brilliance of the colors holds
All of us in thrall and awe
The playing out of the natural law

Reds and whites have come to play
This combination makes for a good display
Orange Jasmine and the flame tree
Did such gorgeousness you ever see

Murray paniculata-Mock Orange-Orange Jasmine-कामिनी-कुन्ती &
Delonix regia-Flamboyant-Flame tree-गुलमोहर

The allamanda has been quite in discussion
Various colors have come up in quick succession
From the yellow to a purple deep to a pale pink
Natural beauty ever in sync

Allamanda cathartica-Yellow allamanda-Golden trumpet &
Allamanda branchetii-Purple allamanda 

A beautiful zinnia captured in the rain
Through an expert's lens, ours is the gain
What would he say were we to say
Our contributors sometimes go out of their way
To capture beauty and bring it here
So that all may view and in glories share
Zinnia deep, balsam tall
Heeding the blooms' call
