trillium
wake robin is the red one
deep red petals
*stink pots*
*stinkin' willie*
beloved of northern woods
wendy plays with a stick
spontaneously
on our walk
once common,
now very occasional
as she ages
asao shimura's book
came today
with little shifu samples
i mean tiny
and it was wrapped in this lovely thai kozo
a treat
after a fine day
at bittersweet farm.
i know, so tiny! but it works for asao. he's been doing it for longer than i've been alive!
ReplyDeleteaimee, you are such a baby...or asao (and i) are OLD!

that's a such a simple and beautiful flower! oh wendy, they slow down don't they :( but so glad she enjoyed the stick this day! :)
ReplyDeletesandra, it's been a lovely flowering, but wendy is slowing down SO much.
ReplyDeleteah trillium, i know you!
ReplyDeletei pressed one in a book many years ago, it is very thin, but still fresh. you knew spring was here when they popped up among the barren trees. thank you for reminding me of a nice memory!
this book looks fantastic, i will need to check it out further.
anastasia, i, too have a trillium in a book memory. it was my first awareness of them. the book is wonderful, very tiny, very dear.
ReplyDeletelovely lovely trilliums...
ReplyDeleteyes, i have been thinking how these early flowers are my favorites. like jewels thrown out for us, encouragement.
ReplyDeletelovely images... reminds me I must go out in search of trillium!
ReplyDeletei'm glad, kit, there are trillium in the midwest (gosh-it's minnesota, right?)
