Crimson fireworks launch
An ephemeral offer
Earth to sky to you
Out of all the varieties of flowers in the world, which is your sentimental favorite? I’m amazed how many people have a fast answer to this question, influenced by serendipity and love.
Mine is the poppy, a sentimental favorite sparked from the backyard garden of our first home, a fixer-upper. By the time we moved into this house, the garden had been neglected for several years and needed attention (the garden was a fixer-upper, too). We left the garden untouched and the following spring discovered a tangled symphony of color - orange tiger lilies, purple allium and red poppies. Lots and lots of red poppies, blooming during our anniversary week. And that was that: poppies become our sentimental favorite.
