Thread Name: Flower Songs (2)
Subject: RE: Flower Songs
Kate Wolf wrote a song about "The Lilac Bush and the Apple" tree growing by an old homestead.

Rosalie Sorrels sings a song that says "If You Love Me" (if you love, love love me) plant a rose for me, and if you think you're going to love me for a long long time, plant an apple tree whenever you comes and whenever you goes you'll have an apple and a red red rose...

(something like that)

"San Antonio Rose" must have been mentioned already..

Laurie Lewis has one about "Texas Bluebonnets" (they make all the meadows as blue as the sky)

Dolly Parton has a song about "Wildflowers", and a woman who is as wild as one.

Greg Brown has a song ["Vivid"] about giving a bouquet of flowers. Ani DiFranco has one too ["This Bouquet"], I think they wrote them at about the same time.

Kate Wolf has a song about "The Trumpet Vine" that grows through the kitchen window and bloomed bright orange on the wall.

I did a radio show with 2 hours of songs about flowers, but I guess it was before I posted my playlists online because I can't find the list.

keep them coming...
