Yesterday, my friend Loraine came for lunch and brought a lovely plant: Crossandra infundibuliformis or "Orange Marmalade." It reminded me of that old limerick:
A rooster became quite dismayed,
With an orange in a nest, well displayed.
He called to his chicks,
"Mom's up to her tricks!
Look at the orange `marma-laid'."
mmmm.... I love orange marmalade! Speshally on buttered toast.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I haven't been keeping up with blogs very well, too busy doing other things.
My son used to be given ants on a log when he was at nursery school!
What a beautiful plant. The shiny green leaves set off the lovely orange blossoms to a tee.
ReplyDeleteTee Hee! Cute and funny poem.
