My Favorite Phlox

- Song Of The Phlox Fairy - by Cicely Mary Barker

July in the garden,

Now the cheerful phlox,

Makes one thing of country girls,

Fresh in summer frocks.

There you see magenta,

Here a lovely white,

Mauve and pink and cherry red

Such a pleasant sight.

Smiling little fairy,

Climbing up the stem,

Tell us which is prettiest?

She says "all of them!" .
