#DailyFlowers
Come October and the Goddess comes in; with her comes the dhol, arti and lamps bring! It is a quieter puja this time, but flower hunters do abound, ransacking blooming trees around. It is as if the Goddess will forgive all trespasses on others' gardens as long as they give, blooms to her in offering! A sad tale that is, but true! Flowers, however sing out loud, they do prance and dance, so let's sail forth them to meet, for they are creators of memories, mostly sweet!
Shalini is still in England and sending gems forth
Daisies, web-building flowers, showcasing true English worth
To the Botanical gardens did she like other visitors go
The flowers didn't disappoint, they were in full flow
Britain welcomed her with grey and rain
But she didn't tell the rain to go to Spain
Instead she left it behind, hopping on a train
Still more flowers she needed, flowers she got
Friends stepped up to fill the spot
Nature celebrates not just flowers
Vegetables and fruits it does empower
We honor their being with us
Fruits&Veges kick-up no fuss
But the thrill that comes from seeing them grow
Is a different kind of high, though
Add in the roses and that increases the delight
Lovely colors that enhance the sight
It is another type of sweet greet
Shashi brings out gems divine
Helping elevate this blog to the sublime
On his wanders does he go
His narrative adds to the flow
Fountains and flowers join the game
Beauty they together claim!
The Hibiscus tree is in gloom
Early morning its flowers were taken
To honor the goddess, but faith in fellows is shaken
Tithonia, passion flower & others have come to say
We are here to make your display
A lone Zinnia stands strong against incoming Fall
Refusing to heed the season's call
In blooms, small, tall and full
One stretches to dizzying heights
Our focused gaze it does invite
Along with lovely reds, pinks, yellows and whites
But only when it is in situ
Ginger crepe is its name
For that prosaic name who should we blame?
Chinese Chaste tree continues the game
You think we should them rename
Allow them grandeur matching their acclaim?
Vitex negundo-Chinese chaste tree-संभालू/निर्गुंडी
This blogger has failed to put them in one display
But whites are powerful, whites are strong
With other colors they do prance along
The songs they sing are loud and true
But truly heard by a very few
This blog is therefore very blessed
All these blooms reduce life's stress!

Udayji contributions are not yet done
His shares have a good run
Sida acuta and Black honey shrub
Have come to join our club
Blooms myriad, blooms bold
Their shades gleaming like gold
