"In winter's cold and sparkling snow,
The garden in my mind does grow.
I look outside to blinding white,
And see my tulips blooming bright.
And over there a sweet carnation,
The Russian sage does gently sway,
And miniature roses perfume the air,
I can see blooming there.
Though days are short,
My vision's clear
And though the snow the buds appear.
In my mind clematis climb,
And morning glories do entwine.
Woodland phlox and scarlet pinks,
replace the frost, if I just blink.
My inner eye sees past the snow.
And in my mind my garden grows."

Great poem!!
Perfect for the season as we are plowing through the spring catalogs, gardening in our mind.
Beutiful poem, makes me long for the colorful spings and summers we had in California where I am from.
We don't see those colors here in Florida. In our minds eye is where all good gardens begin.
Now that's what I'm talking about! Great poem and beautiful garden photos Julie! I bought an Elephant Ear bulb!! Can't wait to find a place to plant it!
WONDERFUL! I needed that words and photos all!
