      Peonies are a very beautiful early spring shrub that have huge blooms. They are very popular in cemetaries because they boom around Memorial Day.

      I know they are weeds but I love dandelions. I even wrote a poem about them yesterday. I'll post it below just to show you why i love them so much. Morgan

        Post a name of a flower or shrub - Page 9 11111
      Dandelions
      Morgan

      From where I am now in my new found perspective
      I notice things many others may recognize
      Such as the freedom of being able to express emotion
      Or the beauty and wonder of the night skies

      But in my youth there were was no time to perceive such things
      Pain was my only reality as my life was a prison
      The door had never opened to the beauty around me
      Abuse and neglect were my reality of loveliness I had no vision

      Yet in all the manipulation the turmoil and the fear
      There stands out something I enjoyed every year
      Every spring when the sun would first warm the ground
      I could sit and enjoy lovely dandelions all around

      The yellow blooms all abuzz with bees
      Were a lifeline to my existence in many varied ways
      I loved the yellow blossoms
      I would take in their beauty how I relished those days

      When you are neglected and unattended in as a child
      You learn ways to survive to make up for the emptiness
      You don’t know it is not normal behavior
      A child does not understand the harshness

      The love they feel for their caretakers
      Their abusers if you please
      Far outweighs the need to flee from harm
      They are brought emotionally to their knees


      I believed my abusers loved me
      Of that I had no doubt
      You couldn’t have convinced me otherwise
      No matter what your clout

      As children to admit we are unwanted
      Is emotional suicide
      So we ignore our true feelings
      And inward we learn to hide

      Dandelions, what do these have to do you may say
      With the torture and neglect you suffered so long ago
      Let me tell you the rest of the story
      And then I hope you will know
       
      There was one thing more these harbingers of summer brought
      To a child going hungry they tasted pretty good
      Can you see it in your mind’s eye a child of only six
      Sitting in a field of yellow consuming them as food

      I would lay down among the blossoms
      With the sun on my face and smile
      With a full stomach of these plants
      I would forget the hell of home for a while

      To this day when spring arrives and the sun begins to warm
      And I see a field of dandelions with their heads of yellow gold
      I remember that happiness I experienced
      And the peace they brought to my soul

      The next time you see a dandelion
      What the world considers a weed
      Remember they once brought peace
      To a little child in bitter need
