A Tribute to the Monarch — Butterfly
Sunday Morning Reverie
A Tribute to the Monarch — Butterfly
I will not deny
the power of the Monarch
butterfly
There is none other
like her
I watch her in the sky
with the grace of a queen
a royal fly by
And I bow my head
in honor of her passing
Always shy
With a strong sense of self
She is my ally
Just like her mother
Nature
There’s not a dry eye
in the garden when she arrives
or says goodby
I’m honored to witness her
majesty
For I can not deny
the power of the Monarch
butterfly
There is none other
like her.

Author’s notes: I’m ensconced in butterflies this morning. They are feeding in large numbers on my Mexican Torch flowers. I can’t think of anything more inspiring.
We all have different definitions of royalty.

If you’d like to know a little more about Mexican Torch Flowers, here goes…
They grow tall, over six feet. They are easy to grow and almost maintenance free. I sometimes stake them so the wind doesn’t take them down. I deadhead mine to keep them flowering longer. You can dry the flowers and then shake to capture seeds for use next year.
They have beautiful bright orange flowers. Stunning! Butterflies LOVE them. Hummingbirds LOVE them. Bees LOVE them.
Mexican Torch Flowers come with a guarantee to provide free entertainment for those who love to sit quietly and watch the critters going about their business.
Have a beautiful Sunday.
