Flower couplets
Stars of Jerusalem, so small and white Looks like the stars in heaven at night. Daffodils are early to bloom Chasing away wintertime gloom Common violets close to the ground Say there’s no need to wear a frown Peonies bloom late in May Well into summer they will stay. In June you find the delicate iris Something will come that you desire Hibiscus bushes in the bower Entertain with their giant flowers Surprise lilies spring up so fast And stay around from times gone past Roses that bloomed back in spring You will find in bloom yet again So plant your flowers where you can Then enjoy the colors of the land
