Saturday Morning at Yppen Square
Stories of Flowers and Fragrance


Red-Laced White Narcissus
looking down on white and magenta tulips
and burgundy peony buds

Granny's Preserving Pan
holding armfuls
of white lilac

Yellow and Orange Tulips
holding forth,
defiantly, no matter
they are late to the party

Take Me Home
the price is right!

And there the lilacs go,
their fragrance wafting
by the cheeses
who could not care less
about flowery perfumes:
"You wait a year,
then we'll see who
perseveres!"

  1. Hi Merisi, it looks like Spring is in full bloom in Vienna. So many beautiful colors, and I can almost smell the lilacs. The cheese looks rather tasty too. Thank you for making your photos clickable....I always long to see the details close up!

  6. Every one of these blooms is a beauty...peony time is a favorite of mine.

    (I've got a photo of tulips on a certain Avenue for you to see...I almost missed them this year.)
