Tightly wrapped
Inside
Nugget of beauty
Resides
Quietly biding its
Time
Till bursting open
Wide
Nourishment for
Me
Pollination for
You
Sharing the benefits
That’s what
Partners
Do
Garden
Beds
Teem
With
Tulips deep
Green
Sure
Sign of
Spring
Sight
Not soon to be
Seen
As winter does
Its
Thing
As days of fall
Slowly tick
Away
Memories of mums
Are here to
Stay
Large and
Small
In size they
Grow
Purple
Iris
Steal the
Show
Hydrangeas
Turned dreary
Brown
Summer’s white
No longer
Found
succulent planters
varied in form and color
desert ambience
lengthening shadows
harbinger of fall’s return
time to take in plants
