Jasminum grandiflorum
Spiralling with no decorum
Braiding lilac tree of purple
Interlacing to encircle
Underneath the scented tree
Dances the honey bee
Tall heads of lavandula
Sway with small petunia
The garden wall displays a banner
Of pink clematis montana
Soft pastels parade and flatter
Like the prunus serrulata
Pirouetting ballerinas
With skirts of white gardenias
Elegant show of fashion
Intently and with passion
Classic petals of the rosa
Hug together much closer
For perfumes made in summer
In a jar, for dear Mother
Garden of timeless botanics
Stimulating with aromatics
Memories conjured by smell
Casting a magical spell

Lovely! I think this is the first time I’ve seen someone come up with a rhyme for “grandiflorum”! 🙂
