Of blooms, bees, butterflies and more

 #DailyFlowers

 It is that time again! When the blogger gets to exercise her grey cells, make lines that chime as clear as bells (well, that's the eternal hope). And oh, dear, the collection amassed... wheee! Two new folks are coming in today, one an old, old friend, one new! 

So,  Nimisha to Kaas Valley for a break did go
Numerous splendored blooms put on quite show
A generous soul, she did the pix to me send
So that I could feature and share the beauty with friends
Colors glorious, flowers bright
Sparkling, even as the camera captures delight

The Rise of the Rose
See for yourself how that goes
Started by Shashi, taken up by others
Seen in glorious colors

A delicate rose was missed
With other flowers, it did twist
It joined blooming paths and flower mushrooms
So much beauty, all did subsume

There was a time the blog talked only of blooms
Slowly but steadily, bees showcased their plumes
They are such generous fellows
How can you not adore  bees & flowers yellow
Cheery, bright, full of light
Wherever you look, an absolute delight

Then came the butterfly!
Butterfly, flutter-by
O'er the highways and the bye-ways
Of the cheery summer time
From Udayji, Vivek and Mala, delicate wings a-flutter
Tricky to capture via the camera's shutter!

Cats, bees, butterflies have made their mark
How can the birds be left out of the park
Thence came in the cockatiel whistler
Suddenly silent, the contributors became listeners

In twirled some pink swirls
Multi-hued, curls and whorls
Methinks someone did paints around spray
Making for a fascinating array

Known more for sharing lovely songs
This time flowers were sent along
Songs and flowers both are desired
As things of beauty, they are admired

While pinks dominate, other hues don't shy away
Against those pinks, they form a formidable display
Delicate, sturdy, dark, light and bright
The next two frames make for an imposing sight

Flower name lessons haven't yet ended
From Udayji, some more have been recommended
Tongue twisting names does he share
But, oh, they come with such wondrous fare!
