Diplandenia
Vining
imperially, showing its mandevilla traits,
Our diplandenia
prospers,
Profusely
pushing out its bright blooms
Of red, rose,
and pink
Ever toward the
sun.
Cold and drought
and drenching wet
Hinder not this
splendid creature.
It prospers,
independent of all else.
It sends out its
thin viny tentacles,
Ever reaching
out from its flowery bower.
