Sister Flowers

 

Sister Flowers

Yellow, red and white and green,
insuring that they’re easily seen.
Fifteen maidens in a row,
eyes distended, all aglow.
Skirts spread out to catch the sun,
observing me and everyone
who passed this way, their aprons spread
as though they wished to work instead
of simply standing in the sun
creating beauty for everyone!
You can join them if you wish,
but you must curb your sway and swish.
Stand quietly. Quit all your pranks.
You’re not allowed to break their ranks,
lest you draw disapproving glowers
from your docile sister flowers.

For Simply Six Minutes write a piece to accompany the above photo.  Exactly six minutes!  No rules broken.

I showed the central part of this hibiscus yesterday and took this photo as well. Today it has already fallen. There will be a new one tomorrow.

Altered Hibiscus: FOTD Apr 14, 2022

Hibiscus altered by LunaPic Art Filters plus “Original Color” and Mac Photos App. Looks a bit Van Gogh-ish now, I think.

Scarlet Firespike: FOTD. Apr 12, 2022

Scarlet Firespike against a fiery sky. I’ve been trying to identify this flower for twenty years. Now, thanks to a generous commenter who suggested a flower identification site, I’ve done so!!!! If you are the one who sent me the suggestion and you see this, please identify yourself, and many thanks.
