I took this picture last year at a tulip farm in Silvan, Melbourne.

* * * *

The heavenly fragrance of freesias
Fills my senses in the morn
The blackbirds eat the bread
I have left upon the lawn

Spring is finally here
And the days are now long
The birds outside my window
Sing a sweet melodious song

My jamsine looks a picture
As does my wattle tree
Amongst my many blooms
Is where you will find me

With a cup of tea in hand
I'll enjoy the sun's warm rays
As I eagerly await Summer
And those long hot days

Mother Nature displays her finest
Here I witness her very best
I am at peace in this paradise
A place I often come to rest

These flowers are called schizanthus (poor man's orchid) and I took this picture at a conservatory in Ballarat, Victoria

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you
- Shawn Mullins

Yay!!! Oh my gosh, this is so breathtakingly beautiful, both Silvan and Ballarat seem so heavenly, I have never ever seen a tulip field that gorgeous and the poor mans orchids are lovely! (kiss on cheek) You always know how to bring a smile to my face, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

These are so beautiful... pictures and the poem...
I liked them both very much, Sue...
Its so strange to think that you are starting to have springtime and we are entering autumn...

Sue: The flowers are beautiful and enjoyed your poem. We have huge tuplip farms in Western Washington that look just like the ones in your pictures. They have a tulip festival every year there. Also other bulbs.

Seems strange that you are having spring, as we are going into fall!

Sue, this just tugs at my heartstrings.

I am grateful to know I will get through our long, cold winters
with pictures and thoughts of your garden.

Happy Spring!!!!
