First Floral Show of the Year

Under the melting snow,

Crocus is starting to grow.

It's head will soon show,

as it's body rises from below.

The Ides of March is nearly here.

The snow should soon disappear,

setting the stage for the first

floral show of the year.

Crocus will be in good company,

sharing the stage with Dwarf Iris,

Glory of the Snow, Grape Hyacinth,

Lily of the Valley and Daffodil,

a symphony of colour and good will.

The script was written long ago.

The actors know their roles by heart.

The only uncertainty is March,

The craziest month of the year!

Why do I hold March so dear?

Two crazies, a long time ago,

tied the knot under the biggest

Snow storm of the year!

Every March we celebrate

our wedding anniversary,

as soon as the snow clears,

with the first floral show of the year!
