The flower I Thought I Knew


I have seen that flower before

 It’s a Evos pink rose I saw is last year on a country road

 No, that’s not right,

 It’s a Blue Bell, I think I see it every year when I go to the Baron sea

 No, wait that seems wrong it’s a slate tile bush I saw it 12 years ago in Rome

 No, I getting myself mixed up, it’s a tantalatizing teal tulip from a trolley in Texas.

I am sorry I’m confusing you, I know what it is, it a African violet from around here.

Do you honestly know what this is,

Not a clue
