Daffodil is the Symbol of Wales

Daffodils

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

William Wordsworth

The red rose whispers of passion,
And the white rose breathes of love;
Oh, the red rose is a falcon,
And the white rose is a dove.

But I send you a cream-white rose bud
With a flush on its petal tips;
For the love that is purest and sweetest
Has a kiss of desire on the lips.


John Boyle O'Rielly 1844-1890


 

Shamrock is the Floral Symbo of Ireland

Happy Saint Patrick's Day Wishes & Greetings

For each petal on the shamrock 
This brings a wish your way-
Good health, good luck, and happiness
For today and every day.
 

St. Patrick's Day

St. Patrick's Day is here, you see.
We'll pick some shamrocks, one, two, three.
We'll count the leaves and look them over,
And maybe find a four-leafed clover.
I'll sew green buttons on my vest,
Green for St. Patrick is the best.
I'll wear a green hat, very high,
And dance a jig--at least I'll try!

Saint Patrick's Day Song for Children

 
The story of St Patrick's Day
Began so long ago
The lyrics in this song
Will tell you
All you need to know
The seventeenth of March
Is when this joyous holiday
Is celebrated happily
With colorful parades

Thistle is the Floral Symbol of Scotland

Cut thistles in May,
They grow in a day;
 Cut them in June,
That is too soon;
Cut them in July,
Then they will die.

She is a thistle sifter.
She has a seive of unsifted thistles and a seive of sifted thistles and the seive of unsifted thistles she sifts into the seive of sifted thistles because she is a thistle sifter.
