A Matchless Bouquet

A delightfully orderly confusion
of riotous colour and shapes shift
like a kaleidoscopic view to entice,
entrance and entrap the gardener's
eye. Each group of freshly piquant
floral types beckoning, beseeching
to be chosen to enhance the
garden in a growing season
longed for through frigid winter months;
the gardener agonizes over selection
and variance, determined this
year's garden will out-perform
last summer's luxuriant excess.

So many choices, from old standards
to new hybrids tantalizing with
their unique presentation, sunny
personalities, perfection of form
and shade. Petunias, marigolds,
daisies, lobelia, asters, begonias,
zinnias and dahlias. The gardener
succumbs to the entreaties with
the full knowledge they are
inner-sourced to fulfill a seasonal,
deep-seated desire to emulate in
aesthetic style what nature casually
tosses together in a matchless bouquet.
