In the garden, 'color me blue... or am I purple ?'

Another rainy day here in Campo, which means two things... soon we wont have service AGAIN, because our towers all are sun powered ... and the photo's for today are not coming out the color that they actually are. Bare with us on this one, you see when there is cloud cover our purple flowers on film (camera) take on their blue hues,  and don't look anything like they look in real life... so am I blue or purple today?? well a little of both actually... Enjoy today's beauties !

In the garden, 'color me orange'

It's garden time once again,

so come with us friends

today is 'color me orange'

Red hot pokers and pansy

are as flashy as can be,

but nothing rhymes with orange !

Coriopus and Aloe

all wave hello

as we walk in their garden so fair

Tulip and Tangerine

cause quite a scene

and their fragrance fills up the air

 

 

Birds of paradise too
watsonia in view
forgot some names, (beg your pardon)

snapdragons and poppies

and even honey bees

all are welcome in our garden

So now we thank you

for walking here too

with 'color me orange' In the garden

ENJOY

In the garden, 'color me red'

Welcome our friends to flowers without end

here we feature 'color me red'

from columbine to rose our story flows

with hues of  scarlet in our head

Pretty in pink, the snapdragons drink

while the strawberries grow sweet by the hour

Queens tears too, in their red hue

are starting to open their flowers

 

Ranunculus long stems, lilies color without end

they all seem to brag and boast

Orchid cactus shines in pots and in minds

tender flowers on prickly hosts

so now we are through, with taunting you

with some of our 'color me red'

we have many more, yet, blogger's a chore

so we'll leave it to imagination instead

ENJOY

In the garden, 'color me yellow'

 Another stroll through

our garden for you

today is 'color me yellow'

From the first signs of spring

he shows off his bling

giving a song to the sparrow

A flourish of shades
it is like a parade
he is such a happy fellow
come smell his fragrance
or just watch him dance
it'll leave you feeling quite mellow

Roam where you will
or just get the feel
of the colors of this bright fellow
He is a magic man
and he 's proud to stand
Happily waving at you a hello

Now we are done
having our fun
with today's 'color me yellow'
we hope you enjoyed
our poem and our ploy
to give you a look at this fellow

ENJOY

In the garden, 'color me green'

Here we are once again
our wonderful friends

with pictures to be seen

and though they are few

we love to show you
the flowers of 'color me green'

Seeding green pods

the hellebore nods

with flowers of a lime green

strawberries are forming

as the weather is warming

when ready are sweet as a dream

We have a green wizard

and even a lizard

whose belly is a blue green

Caught by our Val

he now has no tail

rest assured he is still seen

ENJOY
