Nice!! 💖💕😊💗
Dear StepMum - My garden is covered with carnations - we don't have freezing temps here, so they bloom all year - As Vavaldi might say, we don't have the (4) seasons. I have a potted plant supervisor, Mz. PottyMouth, who instructs other potted plants to bloom. My wife, Rita Louise, used to 'Vase' them throughout our house with the fragrant scent permeating fresher than any commercial spray scent. Now my housekeeper does that special job. She even regularly totes them to neighbors who love them too. As I said in my story 'Wise~Guys,' I hope this amuses U'z...! J-Bud in sunny L.A.
Carnations showing up in January makes me feel like a reminder that beauty doesn’t wait for perfect seasons—it just blooms anyway. 💖
Beautiful, make me wish for spring already
This is lovely, Sharon and nice to see you tackling your own 6w6l form again. Love that it is poetic and full of facts too. Carnations are often underrated. You raise their standing with this poem.
Beautiful poem, Sharon!
This was a beautiful triple 6W6L! You always keep outgoing yourself!
