“It’s
never too late to be what you might have been.” — George Eliot
Pussy
Willows Author Unknown There are willow pussies
Clad in furry goods,
And a robin singing
In the
maple woods.
There's a springing crocus,
And a budding larch,
Who'd ever think the Springtime
Came along
in March.
Flowers Flower, flower grow for me,
Become a flower
from a seed,
Grow your roots and a stem,
Let the water come right in. Flower, flower you are true,
You make me happy
when I am blue,
You became a flower from a seed,
You did all that just for me. Olivia Taylor
The
Tiger Lily has a strong, sweet and distinctively lily smell. Besides producing a stunning spectacle, most parts of this plant
are edible.
