DANA’S FLOWER GARDEN

Dana loves flowers. Her favorites are daisies, tulips, and


daffodils. Tulips and daffodils come up every spring,
and daisies come up later in the summer. These plants
are perennials; they come up year after year.
Dana loves the spring because she can go to the flower
market to buy her annuals. The annuals only last one
season, but they add a lot of color to the garden. Dana
got up Saturday morning very early. She wanted to get
to the market early so she would have time to plant
everything when she got home. Off she went to Barton’s
Flower Market. She ran into some friends.
“Hi, Dana,” they called out to her.
“Hi,” said Dana with a big smile. “Let’s look around
together!” Dana and her friends saw pansies,
geraniums, periwinkles, and petunias.
“Oh, so many pretty flowers!" exclaimed Dana. “I love
them all.”
Dana decided to buy red and yellow pansies, blue
periwinkles, and purple petunias. That will add a lot of
color to my garden, thought Dana. She said good-bye to
her friends and went home.
Dana happily began planting her new flowers around
the tulips and daffodils. Dana was so happy. She loved
her flower garden, and she knew she would enjoy it all
summer long. Dana had a perfect day.
