My Mum's Favourite Flower - The Rose
The Rose Fairy
The Song of The Rose Fairy
Best and dearest flower that grows,
Perfect both to see and smell;
Words can never, never tell
Half the beauty of a Rose --
Buds that open to disclose
Fold on fold of purest white,
Lovely pink, on red that glows
Deep, sweet-scented. What delight
To be Fairy of the Rose
The Rose
Performed By Bette Midler & Wynona Judd
Lyrics
Some Say Love, It is a river
That drowns, the tender reed
Some say love, it is a razor
That leads the heart to bleed
Some say love, it is a hunger
An endless, aching need
I say Love, it is a flower
and you, it's only seed
It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of waking
that never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken
who can not seem to give
and the soul afraid of dying
that never learns to live
When the spring night has been too lonely
and the road has been too long
and you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter
far beneath the bitter snows
Llies the seed that with the suns love
in the spring becomes the rose
Some Say Love, It is a river
That drowns, the tender reed
Some say love, it is a razor
That leads the heart to bleed
Some say love, it is a hunger
An endless, aching need
I say Love, it is a flower
and you, it's only seed
It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of waking
that never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken
who can not seem to give
and the soul afraid of dying
that never learns to live
When the spring night has been too lonely
and the road has been too long
and you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter
far beneath the bitter snows
Llies the seed that with the suns love
in the spring becomes the rose

My Favourite Flower - Lavender
The Lavender Fairy
The Song of The Lavender Fairy
"Lavender's blue diddle diddle" --
So goes the song;
All round her bush, diddle diddle,
Butterflies throng;
(They love her well, diddle diddle,
So do the bees;)
While she herself, diddle diddle,
Sways in the breeze!
"Lavender's blue, diddle diddle,
Lavender's green";
She'll scent the clothing, diddle diddle,
Put away clean --
Clean from the wash, diddle diddle,
Hanky and sheet,
Lavender's spikes, diddle diddle,
Make them all sweet!
Lavender Blue
Sung By Burl Ives
One Version Of The Lyrics
There are many different versions of the lyrics to Lavender Blue, because it is an old folk song. Here is just one version.
Lavender's blue, dilly dilly,
Lavender's green
When you are King, dilly dilly,
I shall be Queen
Who told you so, dilly dilly,
Who told you so?
'Twas my own heart, dilly dilly,
That told me so
Call up your friends, dilly, dilly
Set them to work
Some to the plough, dilly dilly,
Some to the fork
Some to the hay, dilly dilly,
Some to thresh corn
Whilst you and I, dilly dilly,
Keep ourselves warm
Lavender's blue, dilly dilly,
Lavender's green
When you are King, dilly dilly,
I shall be Queen
Who told you so, dilly dilly,
Who told you so?
'Twas my own heart, dilly dilly,
That told me so.

The Poppy Fairy
The Poppy Fairy for ANZAC Day
The Song of The Poppy Fairy
The green wheat's a-growing,
The Larks sing on high;
In scarlet silk a-glowing,
Here stand I.
The wheat's turning yellow,
Ripening for sheaves;
I hear the little fellow
Who scares the bird-thieves.
Now harvest ended,
The wheat field is bare;
But still, red and splendid,
I am there.
Anzac Day is commemorated by Australia and New Zealand on 25 April every year. On Anzac Day, we honour members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who fought at Gallipoli in Turkey during World War I.
We wear artificial poppies on Anzac Day. The artificial poppies were inspired by a French woman, Madame E. Guérin, in World War I. Madame Guérin conceived the idea of widows and orphans manufacturing artificial poppies in the devastated areas of Northern France so that they could be sold by veterans' organisations overseas for the benefit of veterans as well as the destitute children of northern France.
The Poppy is the recognisable symbol our tribute to our war veterans as well as remembering those who never returned. The proceeds raised from the sale of artificial poppies in Australia benefit our Veterans or their widows / widowers.
The Lilac Fairy
My Mum's Second Favourite
The Song of The Lilac Fairy
White May is flowering,
Red May beside;
Laburnum is showering
Gold far and wide;
But I sing of Lilac,
The dearly loved Lilac,
Lilac, in Maytime
A joy and pride!
I love her so much
That I can never tell
If she's sweeter to look at,
or sweeter to smell.

The Daffodil Fairy for Daffodil Day
The Song of The Daffodil Fairy
I'm everyone's darling; the black bird and the starling
Are shouting about me from blossoming boughs;
For I the Lent Lily, the Daffy-Down,Dilly,
Have heard through the country the call to arouse.
The orchards are ringing with voices a-singing
The praise of my petticoat, praise of my gown;
The children are playing, and hark! they are saying
That Daffy-Down-Dilly is come up to town
