Flower Fairies - Lords and Ladies (Autumn)

My plants have their berries early. The berries are easier to spot than the flowers.

Fairies, when you lose your way,

From the dance returning,

I the darkest undergrowth 

See my candles burning!

These shall make the pathway plain

Homeward to your beds again.

Cecily Mary Baker

The picture for the Spring song is here.

I also found the Spring song itself.

I have neither bells nor petals,

Like the foxglove or the rose.

Through the length and breadth of England

Many flowers you may see

Petals, bells and cups in plenty - 

But there's no one else like me.

In the hot house dwells my kinsman.

Arum-lilt, white and fine;

I am not so tall and stately

But the quaintest hood is mine;

And my glossy leaves are handsome;

I've a spike to make you stare;

And my berries are a glory

In September. (BUT BEWARE!)

Welcome to my new followers. I hope you enjoy your visits.
