in the span of my hand
deeply notched purple petals
point to yellow centers
thickly blanketing the ground
while blinks of orange orioles
hazardously flash branch to branch
sending cascades of melodious
song raining down
I wish we would see the orioles, but as per, everything here is the same as what we are looking at! This is my first year with both white and blue phlox! Ours are brightened up with the reddest of red cardinals!
