Daffodils in the Rain
Nothing I have ever seen
Is lovelier than silver rain
Falling on gold daffodils
In bloom along my garden lane.
Overnight they have appeared,
As if by magic, from the ground.
Grateful for their first rain bath,
They revel in its friendly sound.
Golden beauty blinding me
Along the path and garden wall,
Winter's bondage now has ceased
With spring's enchanting first sweet call.
WILLIAM ARNETTE WOFFORD
A garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful watchfulness; it teaches industry and thrift; above all it teaches entire trust.
~Gertrude Jekyll
Orchids are grown from seed so small that it would take thirty thousand to weigh as much as one grain of wheat.
