August in the garden!
Now the cheerful phlox
Makes one think of country girls
Fresh in summer frocks.
There you see

Here a lovely
white
Mauve, and pink
and cherry-red
Such a pleasant sight!
Smiling little fairy
Climbing up the stem
Tell us which is prettiest?
She says “All of them!

Each of them lives its own life.
Lovely fragrant phlox delight people with their beauty and tenderness.

The butterflies eat nectar, the dragonfly flits easily around my pond where it was born in the spring.
