1315


 Posey

Yellow ixoras you stay open,

Once bloomed, through day

And through night;


Sleepless under Caribbean skies,

In your sweet umbrella forms,

Put you in a posey,

What would you represent?


Loveliness, continuity, happiness,

hopeful, joy, alluring

Ay yes, 

I know, you would be enduring.

    Love this.....I did find it very intersting to read about the "meaning" of various kinds of flowers. I also find it intersting that certain flowers are more popular and indeed, sometimes can only be found, in some countries/cultures.

    Lovingnes can't be beat.
    p.s. My Trinidadian son-in-law died with the early COVID and heart troubles. My daughter has moved to Ecuador and in October she will have her permanent Ecuador visa. I had COVID two times, once aboard a ship. Now I can't taste or smell or remember things good.
