Right up my garden path Brian. Bloomin' lovely write.
THANKS MICHAEL ~ Pleased it ruffled your petals ~ BRIAN !
And it tickled my sepals....!
A fine write Brian. Will these be American flowers - 'favorite' with no 'u' in it?!
YES INDEED STEVE ~ Some are UK ~ USA & Global ~ Necessity is the Mom / Mum of invention ! A Sonnet has 14 lines and FLOWER has 6 and FAVOURITE (9) hence I used FAVORITE (8) and invoked Poetic Licence ~ OK ~ Pleased you liked the presentation ~ despite the apparent "spello" ! You may have noticed HILITE in my blurb ! Yours BRIAN
Thank u Steve & Brian! 💐
Now is it American taste too? 'Savor'. Your keyboard got any 'u's?!
In that case, a colorful write Brian. I lose sleep over these things, ya know! heehee.
Mio Caro Amico BRIAN,
Una bellissima poesia!
An awesome acrostic!
The teacher in you never
leaves you...THANK GOD!
We are the beneficiary of your awesome poems!
Abbracci e Baci per te ed Angela...

CIAO LAURA ~ NOSTRA Bella Cara Amica ~ Pleased you liked it ~ I always do my best to educate & entertain ! Thanks for your encouraging comments ! Abbracci e Baci con Amore ~ BRIAN ed ANGELA XOXOX
i remember my mother loved plants. could grow an entire bush from a single cutting. used to tell me foxgloves had a deadly toxin, called digitalis. in small enough quantities it was safe to use for heart conditions, such as my fathers. in larger doses, she warned - extremely deadly. i guess she warned me because as a child i used to eat them! lol
Thanks DAVE My Mum is a HERBALIST and considers that we can cure anything with plants. Digitalis is ~ as you mention ~ a heart drug in measured quantities she put nasturtium leaves in our salads etc ! A lot of prescription drugs like ASPIRIN etc are found in nature ! We all depend on PLANTS for our existence because they are the Primary Producers through PHOTOSYNTHESIS ~ the animals eat the plants and give us Protein and Fat Rich food ~ like milk ~ eggs ~ butter ~ cheese and of course meat etc. Plants are much more than just PRETTY ! Cotton & wool etc come from PLANTS ~ Thanks BRIAN
The blooms are coming out for us all to enjoy. Good write Brian.
"GARDENS BLOOMIN' OUT ALL OVER" YES ANDY ~ Early Rain ~ abundant Sun has made it a record year for "Bloomin' Blooms" and friends of mine who have visited the Chelsea Flower Show say it is the best year ever ! It will soon be JOON ~ AMEN ~ Yours BRIAN
