Yellow and orange, naturally
make a heady combination,
but when it’s on a rose,
it looks absolutely
gorgeous, captivating!
This charming rose actually
starts with a yellow bud,
opens up with tender,
yellow petals, and then,
gradually starts transcolouring,
petal by petal, to orange,
blossoming into a
yellow-orange miracle.
Sheer magic, ain’t it?
The pink rose behind,
gapes in wonder.
Envious? Naw! Not at all!
It knows full well,
A rose is a rose, the king of flowers!
What’s there in the colour?
