I know it read like a poem but that is how one feels when you see the flower fields.

God sent bolts of pure Colors, painted in large swaths, acreage wide:

Long, filled with pure blues, yellows, reds. Blended, against blue gray skies,

Snow White mountains, high.

A Joy to behold.

Struts beloved Irises, Daffodils, Tulips, Sunflowers, Dahlias.

Bulbs to be shipped all over the globe.

Proud alluvial soil, deep, rich in nurturing, brown, gray bulbs.

Glows theses bulbs that contain the seeds of magical miracles.

Off, forward to Seattle to the second largest garden show in our United States.

Proud Bulb Growers of Skagit Valley merchandise its pride and joy.
