Vivid Hues, Loud & True!

 #DailyFlowers

 Christmas has come and gone, but snow hasn't played along. Temps are plummeting and cold is holding sway! The winter solstice and the shortest day of the year are over. This is perhaps the last blog post of the year! The next one will be in the new year, in 2022!  We have lost this year and how, and yet we still strive, to achieve a perfection, nay a balance in life and what we want from it and what we can get! Yet Nature bloomed strong and true, filling our lives with many a hue!

Then came in Christmas with its bells
Crimsons, greens and whites joined to tell
The tale of holidays that were nigh
Another year ending on a muted high
But flowers lit up the year
Spread color, brightness and cheer
They kept us going strong
Varied hues with so many songs

Gnomes, and orchids from a distance did come
From Imphal the blue lotuses added their drum
A painted vase did center-stage take
An enviable sight it did make

Pinks in hues vivid did shine
Lilium, Sweet alyssum did in chime
Perfect Pinks did Shalini them call
Among all the displays they did stand tall

Some more pinks did in gambol
For pride of place they did scramble
A bunch happily took the lead
Others just followed the creed

Blooms from across the world
Onto the blog did swirl
Dance, prance into a multicolored display
Nature's magnificence is here to stay

Flowers white orange on the ground
Sprightly lavender on garlic vine found
Surprisingly the two did meld
The combination delicately be-spelled

Whites and light pink tinges add a charm
Their beauty does viewers disarm
Intense focus doth they invite
Gentle, tender blooms like fairy sprite
