Flowers and their friends

by Margaret Warner Morley

So they lie close and snug, and do not open until they have grown large and strong enough to meet the bright sunshine and the cold night.

Then they open wide; they become green and do their work, which is to make food for the plant.

TO THE MORNING-GLORY.

What do you do with your pollen so white?

What do you do with your honey so sweet?

What is the use of your border so bright?

And what is the use of your calyx so neat?

THE CONVOLVULUS FAMILY.
