TODAY'S FLOWERS - Tonight's Flowers Really!


'Joiks', I though.
I have no flowers to post . . .
grab camera, rush out into the dark with torch
and violĂ !

A flower I had noticed on a seedling geranium a few days ago.
Dah, when you shine the torch on the flower, you can't see
what setting the camera in on, ups . . .
soft focus by torchlight.


Madly winding fading torch and clinging on to camera,
my piece de resistance, a flower engulfed by grass.
Yep, not only has my weeding not been done, 
it hasn't even been started


here is the little darling in all it's moth eaten glory


and, the only other thing apart from my white rose that is in 
flower, ONE shy but perfumed violet.


With Lille Abner's grandma I say "when you got 'em, flaunt 'em!"

When you don't have much, it's best to enjoy what you DO have.

TODAY'S FLOWERS ~ A violet



The gentle violet at my feet
sweet perfume wafting
on the ambient air
like love long lost
that vaguely lingers
reawakened
in the early spring.

The scent in passing
holding memories so sweet
oh gentle little violet
blooming at my feet.
