Some young aquilegia plants in our garden miraculously made it through our long dry hot spell. They protected themselves by taking shade from those around them and holding their breath i think! They are a perennial plant and I'm still trying to increase the number of plants in our collection so I sow seed around this time and in Autumn. They are a dainty, beautiful, floaty, respectful flower and after this summer, turns out they are super hardy too.
This is my love note to the Polite Aquilegia
You will not find her if you trample fast and loud
She herself is is not loud
Heads bowed politely
An understated ceremony
of joy
Delicate and dainty yet a presence undenied
May you not walk passed Aquilegia
Her sparkle
The mystery of ...
Bow with her
in ceremony
A bowed head releases it all
A bowed head allows your wings to breathe
She tells you to notice
To tread gently
To spread your wings and soar
But never forgetting to look down
The trouble is people are not looking down
In her language she is resolved to win
Win what?
This folly - she shakes it off
Little dancers
Gracefully swaying
Aqueligia - please stay with me
In ceremony
The win - what you find when you look down
