Big trumpet lilies and huge gerber daisies <br />Anenomes compete with colourful carnations <br />Many petaled dahlias sit in buckets <br />Alongside their cousins, lovely crysanthemums <br />Pots of shy violets, begonias and fuschias <br />Beside vases of heady perfumed freesias <br />Odd looking green plants with even stranger names <br />Ferns and leaves to bulk out bouquets <br />Yet out of this glorious crowded rainbow <br />The single red rose is still the loveliest of all.<br /><br />Marilyn Shepperson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-a-flower-shop/
