Greetings from FLORIDA FLOWERS Florida Flowers Come to this beautiful and interesting state. Its climate makes it a haven of escape from cold in winter. Its hundreds of miles of seashore, its thousands of silvery lakes, its many picturesque rivers, its millions of fertile aces of land, its splendid communities, large and small, combine to make the word "Florida" a magic symbol. Florida, the state of health and happiness. The flame-vine clings to the verdant trees, Bright poinsettias nod in the fragrant breeze, Lovely bouganvillea both purple and red, While lilies and hyacinths appear a solid bed. Gorgeous azaleas flaunt their colors in the air, Cereus and tung oil, blooms that are rare. The red hibiscus, brilliant, vivid flowers, And sweet magnolias make many scented bowers The blushing oleander and poinciana tree, Sights of beauty worth going there to see. Oranges and grapefruit unnumbered bloom; Each bud is a cup of rare perfume.
