The Flower Hour #48: STUViewing In Essex County

Valerian (Valeriana officinalis)

STUViewing In Essex County

The woods awake in April showers,
To host a quirky hour of flowers.
First Springbeauty wakes up bright,
To carpet forest floors in white.
Then nodding Trillium takes the cue,
With triple petals, clean and true.

But look! A strange, inverted sight:
An “Upsidasy”—blooming, right?
She grew askew, head to the dirt,
A cheeky, woodland floral flirt!
Thank goodness Valerian is near,
To calm the frantic forest cheer.
Four snowy beauties, wild and free,
Our woodland S, T, U, and V!

Thanks to Terri for making this a fun and very challenging week. U? Really? 🙂 Seems, for me at least, “creativity” is to be the order of the day! Please check out Terri’s post and admire her lovely pictures — it’ll be the bright spot of your day, promise:

’Til next time, y’all…
