Being daffodils gives you no privileges. Just look at the tulips. They are making an effort.
This is your final warning. If your colleagues don’t get up and open their petals right now you will all find yourself joining the weeds on the compost heap.
I’m counting. One.....two.......three........

Dear Keith,
ReplyDeleteWould that flowers bloomed on demand.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Alas they never shall! thanks for the fun prompt Rochelle
DeleteAnd when they do finally get up, stubborn little beggars refuse to unfurl their petals. Off with their heads! Great take on the prompt.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! Thanks Sandra.
DeleteA charming and funny story! I like how your character threatens that poor daffodil, when all it did was try and please you by blooming.him
ReplyDeleteI know. Even dafs have feelings.
DeleteA nice touch of whimsy, Keith, nicely done.
ReplyDeleteA little bit of whimsy does us good!
DeleteYou made me smile, and feel for the lone daffodil
ReplyDeletePerhaps I was a little hard on him!
DeleteHave you visited my garden... some flowers are just little divas.
ReplyDeleteThey certainly can be - you should see my pompous crocuses!
Deletenicely done, just the right touch of humor!
ReplyDeleteThat was fun, indeed! If only they bloomed on command...
ReplyDeleteWhat a cruel gardener. No wonder the poor daffodils stay underground. This was fun.
ReplyDeleteThat put a smile on my face, mainly because I have conversations like that with my plants from time to time.
ReplyDeletei like the humor in this, it sounds like an old times story for kids, when everything was terrifying and cruel.
ReplyDeleteThis is witty yet I can't help but pity those lovely daffodils!:)
ReplyDelete*laughs* love this Keith! Oh if only my flowers would listen when I demand that they bloom!
ReplyDeleteAn egalitarian garden - very good. No privileged classes here.

ReplyDeleteDoes that work? Lol
Cute and humorous piece, Keith. With that tone of voice, it might just work. I've heard you can talk to flowers. Well done. :D --- Suzanne
ReplyDeleteFebruary?!? I wish tulips and daffodils were blooming by February here. We feel blessed if we see them by mid april and we don;t start speaking to the late comers until June.
ReplyDeleteAaah daffodil..hanging there :)
ReplyDeleteLoved iT!!!!!! There are springs that I fell just like that !!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Freakishly warm weather earlier this winter caused my crocuses to pop up way early. I'm hoping they still manage to bloom and don't all need replaced for future spring seasons. Maybe I should go talk to them.
