Candy Corny

On a recent early morning  walk I came upon this funny-looking flower.

Having recently participated in  Carla Sonheim's imaginary flowers, it got me thinking that this one looked like it came out of a dream.

So I was inspired to create some new flowers like these,

And I put them in a field, with photos the real ones (do you see them?)

And I named it and put it in verse, because every flower should have a poem written for it.

My days were drab, and life was thorny

          'Til I found this field of Candy Corny
         
          Its petals spiky and cheerfully yellow

          Unhinged my blues and made me mellow.
