 Madame Chartreuse Have you heard the news? Did you all hear hear? I have some little clues... About a guest who's here! She is a color like no other Come and take a peek Half of one and half of the other She is quite unique. She brings a special kind of sheen to places in the shade A mix of yellow and of green, she is on parade!  Other kinds of greens do grow in my garden fair Avocado, Forest Green Sage and Moss and Pear. And then there is Pistachio Granny Apple too Effervescent Lemon Lime Will make you say "At Choo!"  But this one is fluorescent green She comes from South East France A cordial made by silent monks From one hundred plants! She has a very special name It is La Grande Chartreuse Yellow Green and luminous One you can't refuse! Here's a few of her plants in my garden bed She paints the flowers and the leaves, they'll make you turn your head! Hellebore of Corsica is greeny-yellow gold Her foliage is evergreen even in winter's cold. And then Hydrangea shrub is there, her name is Annabelle Her flowers are so delicate, she's quite the Mademoiselle. And then there is a carpet wild that runs along the ground Creeping Jenny she is called, she does not make a sound.
