Meg, your opening winter scene sure looks famaliar - *grin*.
And your pansies are so pretty.
Pansy faces all have an angel imprint,
And, when one looks at a pansy, the angel appears.

There are angels in so many flowers!


Angel Wing Begonia

Angels in My Garden

Among my gift begonias
Is one called “Angel-wing”,
So true to form I fancy
I hear the seraphs sing.
For surely higher beings
Inspired the, friendly hearts
Of my new next-door neighbors
To give me these “new starts”.

O Angels, hover always
About this garden spot!
Help- me to share life's blossoms
With those who have them not!
And from your shining wing-tips
Shake fragrance for the hearts
Of beauty-hungry thousands
Today, who need new starts!
-IRENE STANLEY

Thank you, yorkie..I love pansies!
Lovely poem and begonia..I once had a large angel wing begonia..
I, too, got the cutting from a friend. I had a great room for growing indoor
plants then..
Have a beautiful Lord's Day

Very pretty graphic, yorkie. I love the Angel Wing begonia and have had them before. Like you say, many flowers look like angels and in a way they are angels because they bring so much happiness to us.
