You were on the discount table
Aconites, half price
Tiny corms hidden in brown mulch
in a plastic bag
You looked dead to the unknowing eye
but I knew the beauty held tight
in your brown body
waiting
I planted you
on the northeast side of the house
under the honeysuckle
Forgot about you hidden there
But on my daily walk of the garden
I filled with joy finding you
in the dappled shade
finding
your full price blooms
Don't you just love those half-dead discounted plants! I find some of those are the best growers and do lots of nice stuff in the garden dirt!!!
ReplyDeleteI am in Grass Valley for a few days. It is lovely with lots of green and color.
Smiles to you

Wonderful, such a beautiful picture with that lovely colour and dappled light - and such beautiful words to match. :-)
