trillium

 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.

  12. ah trillium, i know you!
    i 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.
