Pe cat e de modesta in ce priveste ingrijirea pe atat e de aspectuoasa. M-am oprit zilele trecute langa o gradina de bloc in care se aflau cateva zinnii, si am facut niste poze, nu ca o dovada a nostalgiei dupa o copilarie de mult apusa, pt ca n-am avut o copilarie fericita, ci ca sa bucur si pe altii cu frumusetea lor.
Si nu pot sa inchei acest articol fara sa pomenesc de zanele--flori ale lui Cicely Mary Barker, (28 June 1895 – 16 February 1973) care a scris si ilustrat nenumarate carti care fac si azi deliciul copiilor, una din ele am admirat-o la fiica mea in USA, de atunci fiica a schimbat multe domicilii, in tari diferite, si nu stiu daca nu cumva cartea s-a pierdut pe drumuri. Una din carti e dedicata alfabetului si Zinnia Flower Fairy incheie aceasta carte. Fiecare zana avea si o poezie care ii era dedicata.
Z for Zinnias, pink or Red;
See them in the flower bed,
Copper, orange, all aglow,
Making such a stately show.
I, their fairy, say Good-bye,
For the last of all am I.
Now the Alphabet is said
All the way from A to Z.
