Cheery Yellows & So Much More

 #DailyFlowers

 We are once again edging towards the end of another year! A tumultuous, torturous one at that. Too many losses, too many gone too soon, taken by circumstances. And yet, time moves on. We are nearly in mid-December and if one were to look back and assess/analyze what did we as humanity achieve? I will leave you all to think on that! But flowers achieved what they promised, a bright shaft of light cutting the gloom, bringing cheer to home-bound folks, filling the air with their fragrance sweet.  Last week folks put a yellow series just as the blog post was being published, so obviously that got held back, so we start with them.

Yellows from everywhere did come
On stalks, plants, lamps, urns and then some
Lest the beautiful goldens feel all alone
A vibrant purple with a central yellow merrily shone

The season changes again
We get chrysanthemums in the bargain
Colors common, n unseen
On a winter morn joyfully preen
With mums come rajnigandha and beauties pink
Vivid colors beautifully do sync

A tale of violets, purples lavender
In very graciously did wander
Vivek did need to touch the roses to see
Whether they met the natural guarantee
Delicate blossoms did the others in pull
Resulted in a frame most beautiful

Shashi's roses are still going strong
Other colors alone & tinted are coming along
Roses are a celebration of life
Their incandescence sets apart all strife

Shalini brought more flowers of stone
She said something about having to atone
Three more people did share their pix
Elevated the blogger's bag of tricks

While in Imphal Shalini went to the garden of General Slim
With his witty response Vivek went out on a limb
Comments on paucity of rations for the general were made
But then Vivek took to his legs, for he of Shalini was afraid
More Amsterdam beauties made their mark
While Deepak and Rina's takes added to the spark
Shashi chimed in with a loaded tree
In nature, beautiful growth is free

What of Udayji may I say
His blooms elevate the day
From tricks of light
And lovely kachnar so bright
From the common cotton
To the woody morning glory
Each frame tells a gorgeous story
The scarlet milkweed, aka blood flower
On the timeline, does radiance shower

Flowering beauties have no end
Resplendent colors to our lives they lend
Coming from near, coming from far
Each one is a reigning star
