Fabulous and Fragrant, Flowers of February (Poem)
Fabulous Flowers of February!
Fabulous February is here,
With blossoms all around,
Fragrant, alive, and bright,
Some so delicate, and some fiery,
Colours of Nature, spread all around,
Some flamboyant, some fluorescent,
But so harmonious, and so fresh,
Spreading their aroma all around,
Roses, Lilies, and Pansies,
Jasmines, Bulbs, and Daffodils,
The Witch hazel, and Dahlias,
The vibrant, fragrant blossoms,
Smile at me, as I walk past them,
My soul rejuvenated, I love to sing a song.

Flowers are those little colourful beacons of the sun from which we get sunshine when dark, sombre skies blanket our thoughts.

AUTHORThank you Cynthia, for your kind visit and positive feedback! I am glad you liked the article.
Yes, the beautiful flowers can be seen blossoming all around nowadays in India. The flowers you mention here, in your part of the World, are all my favourites.
Wish you an enjoyable Spring season. Thanks for stopping by!
Lovely happy celebration of the joy of flowers in verse and pictures! I appreciate your information about the timeline for Spring and the flowers you see around you in your part of India.
On Vancouver Island we have a fresh layer of snow, but did have our early snowdrops before that, and will welcome tulips, daffodils, rhododendrons, camelias, and other Spring blooms soon. Also cherry blossoms! Spring is a flower feast here as well, but a little later than when you experience the tide of blooms.
I would love to smell witch hazel fragrance!
I have become a fan of big, showy dahlias and am hopeful that a flaming red one that bloomed in my garden last year will come back bigger and more dramatic this year!
All the best,
Cynthia

Blooming of flowers is always a pleasant sight for everyone throughout the year. But colourful and fragrant flowers can be seen in abundance all around at this time of the year in India.
Spring season is approaching and I hope you enjoy the beautiful sight of flowers at your place.
Thank you for your lovely comments!
Your photos are beautiful and the facts about February are interesting. The whole hub was very enjoyable to read. Flowers are appearing where I live, but I don't see as many different types as you do at this time of year. I will as the season progresses, though. I'm looking forward to the future!

Yes the beautiful Dahlias are from my balcony garden and they were the inspiration for me when I wrote this hub.
Thank you!
In February, we still have snow on the ground. I can't wait until we can see some of the beautiful flowers you show here. The dahlias are just stunning.

Thank you Peggy W, for your wonderful response to the hub! I am glad that you liked the poem and the flowers.
Houstan is a beautiful place, I have heard from some of my relatives residing there. The climate must be appropriate for flower gardening. I love flowers all around throughout the year.
Thank you for sharing and appreciating the hub!
I really liked the poem that you wrote along with all of your marvelous photos. We have lots of colorful flowers just about year round in our Houston climate. Our city will become even more colorful when the millions of azaleas are in bloom in March. I have some in our garden that bloom several times a year...even during winter months. Sharing this glorious hub of yours.

Hi Surabhi!
It's a great pleasure to hear from you again. Keep smiling!

Hi again, Chitrangada ji. Have been quite busy lately.
So sweet of you. I am touched by your loving comment - ha ha yes, yes... I have received your flowers (smile). Thank you. Love ya.

Thank you Missy Smith, for your wonderful comment!
Flowers always inspire us, don't they! I was touched to read the second paragraph of your comment.
Flowers look most fabulous on the plant where they grow. I hate to pluck them and make bouquets of them. Their life is so short but so beautiful and rejuvenating.
Thank you and have a lovely day!
What a lovely hub, Chitrangada. I am not a green thumb at all, so I am quite jealous of all your beautiful grown flowers in your garden. I wish I felt I could do that. I always think about trying a flower garden. I was also unaware of all the pretty flowers that would grow in February. Wow!
I like wildflowers the best. Daisies have been my favorite since I was just a little girl. I remember a little purse my mom bought for me when I was around five years old; light blue with daisies on it. She knew I liked daisies. :) I always want to pick the wildflowers that I see on the side of the road in the countryside, but I usually leave them and just enjoy the beauty of them when I ride by.

Flowers any day will brighten one's mood no matter what mood one is in and the array of colored flowers in this hub has certainly lifted my spirits this morning.
This is the month when they start blooming in all their glory. Thanks for these fun facts of February which I never had an inkling of.
Wonderful poems to entice us with the month's treats, and the flowers are more than welcome, after winter.

Thank you so much Ericdierker, for appreciating the hub! I am really pleased to read your comment.
Have a great day! Thank you!
Awesome poetry with lovely images of flowers. You presented the month of February so elegantly. I appreciate it.
I love white lilies more than roses. But, for gifting, roses are good.
"It is simply impossible to describe the beauty of flowers or capture their beauty in photographs." However, you did a marvelous job capturing the colors. The colorful pansies are somewhat mystical.
Excellent work on flowers and their charms. Who does not like flowers? They give us so much from Mother Nature! God's own fragrant soldiers, they are. Well done, Chitrangada!
Beautiful flowers and poem! Very informative as well.
Your little balcony must be a wonder! Where I live, daffodils are coming up now, promising spring to come.
What stunning pictures of February flowers Chitrangada, and your poetry was wonderful too. Well done.
A poem, information and beautiful pictures. This article has it all. :)
Marvelous. This was thoroughly enjoyable. I sure love flowers and this hub was a treat. Great poem also, thank you
