Just yesterday I saw a beautiful little rose,
I held it up and smelled it with my nose.

Then across the lane I saw a dafodil,
admired it until I had my fill.

Went around to another table to see,
what other beautiful flowers were there for me to see.

I just love to visit the Star Nursery'
they have a selection one wants to smell and to see.

If only the ground here were moist, fertile and lush,
I'd buy a dozen or more purple, and fragrant lilac bush.

But alas in the desert about all you'll ever see,
are the fast growing, gorgeous pink, red & white Oleander Tree.

Oh don't get me wrong we have other flowers that grow,
but the heat of a single day can kill faster than the coldest snow.
