In bloom, the Rose of Sharon, with its honey yellow hue, <br />Along with the graceful Jasmine, Clematis and Lilac too. <br />Followed by the Buddleia, that the butterflies so love, <br />Sedum, Quince and Penstemon, and the tall Foxglove. <br /> <br />With Crocosmia of orange and lime green Hosta bright, <br />London Pride, Pansy, Primula, what joy they all invite. <br />Geraniums in profusion, charm the glancing eye, <br />And standing proud, as if on guard, the grand gladioli. <br /> <br />Lily of the Valley with dainty bell shapes, white, <br />Japanese Anemones that close their heads at night. <br />Lavender and Fuchsia plus Hydrangea pink and blue, <br />All these lovely flowers grow in my backyard venue. <br /> <br />Pleasure is in the looking and seeing such a show, <br />A palate of such beauty, like the sweep of a rainbow, <br />Nature in all its excellence, dresses this vibrant scene. <br />In one small English garden these genre thus convene. <br /> <br /> <br />© Ernestine Northover<br /><br />Ernestine Northover<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-profusion/
