Richard Combe Miller’s Tribute to August: Summer’s Queen in Rosy Splendor
by Richard Combe Miller
Fairest of months! Ripe Summer's Queen!
The hey-day of the year,
With robes that gleam with sunny sheen
Sweet August doth appear.
With rosy fruit her skirts are drest,
Flowers her glory swell,
And birthday wishes are most blest,
Breathed 'neath her potent spell.

Words inspired by the garden are the sweetest, most beautiful words of all.
The Red Spider Lily, scientifically known as Lycoris radiata.
