Z is for Zinnias – Rhymed Acrostics A to Z



Z is for Zinnias – Rhymed Acrostics A to Z

Zooooom. Here comes spring planting ... and waiting for summer's own floral fashion show.

 
Zinnias



Zippy big blooms, they light up the yard.

Inside, they greet me, my own color guard.

Never need polishing, shiny and bright,

Nature’s own fireworks, floral delight.

I till the soil and drop seeds there to rest,

Anticipating the garden’s best dressed.

Simply delightful, my zinnias attest.
