Flowers as symbols of love

A FLORAL AFFAIR: DAN MCCAW

Who can compare to the calendula in brilliance?

Sweet pea and peonies perhaps, but no gentleman.

Oh no,

The supremacy of flora,

Much stronger a passion than a sugary kiss from the most dashing man

For even that man, as quick witted as he may be, can’t get me to swoon like

The lilac can in April,

Lain so heavy with perfumed blooms

That any unadventurous oxygen, that sadly is

Not ripe with the ethereal drug seems a bit too bitter.

You know,

I would lay comatose just to smell another cosmos
