Clematis Has Arrived! Now it is the month of June I've been waiting for you all For your flowers bold and bright On my trellis tall. The roses they have had their turn With their sweet perfume Now Clematis takes the stage With giant purple blooms! A fountain full of blossoms wide In the summer hours Announcing "we have all arrived!" A festival of flowers. "Our petals make a diamond shape One two and three and four We love to climb on arbors high Or grow around your door. "Our centers they are yellowy green with tiny funny squiggles When the bees come tickle us We give a little giggle!" We like to mingle here and there with the other vines. But we prefer to make a scene in the summer time! So when you're in my garden green Be sure to take the time To see Clematis bold and strong The giant purple vine! written by Christine Summerfield July 17, 2018 The Honey Suckle Vine As I sit on my front porch, with my cup of tea So much green and flowers grow right in front of me! The honeysuckle is the one with vines of red and green It wraps around and round my fence, the finest to be seen! And at the end of every vine, a trumpet of pink and gold Announces to the world to smell its perfume bright and bold! I dip my nose into the vine and smell perfume so sweet But someone else is right behind, awaiting his summer treat. The hummingbird of green and red, so tiny and so quick His busy wings buzz happily, as he stops to take a sip. He dips his long and slender beak inside each blossom pink But watch him oh-so-carefully, you must not even blink! For if you do, you might just miss him darting up so high For in a flash he will be gone, but listen for his cry: "I'll be back to visit you for your elixir fine Be sure to look for me again on the honey suckle vine!" written by Christine Summerfield/June 2016
