Pictures of various flowers I see during the month of May 2013 with poems to accompany them.
Tiny little flowers
In white, pink and blue
How could anyone
Ever forget you?
For you surely are significant
Your beauty’s not obscure
In my garden you are welcomed
Even though you’re miniature
For size doesn’t designate
A flowers sense of worth
As often it’s the little things
That are most regarded on this earth
Therefore you need not worry
As you grow in my garden plots
For I will always remember you
My little Forget-Me-Nots

Phlox in bloom
A sight to behold
Small star shaped flowers
The ground do enfold
A blanket of pink
Surrounded by some rocks
A garden in May
Should always include Phlox

Lovely soft pink Lupines
Erect spikes reaching for the sky
Whorled garden sentries

Haiku
Candy in the garden
Easy on the eyes
Found amongst the rocks
Under sunny skies
Fragrant white tufts
Umbels with purple centers
Candytuft in the garden
A welcome sight when one enters

The last Monday in May
We pause to remember
All those who fought and fell
For freedom’s cause.
Let us never forget the price
that is paid for freedom.

The Red Poppy is a reminder of those who fought and fell in World War 1.
Read the immortal poem “In Flamders Fields” by Lt. Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918)
Purple heads bobbing
Bellflowers in my garden spot
Cheerfully greet the sunshine

Haiku
Though you are miles away
Your fragrance fills the air,
Drawing me to the place where you grow,
and spread your purple splendor as far as my eyes can see.
Lavender, the loveliness of you should be enjoyed more than just one day in May.
