If a flower could hang in sorrow
If this flower could bloom tomorrow
If some flower escaped to burrow
it'd be beauty we'd see
not just petals and stems
but something closer to mystery

“The fritillary (Fritillaria meleagris) is a plant of the lily family (Liliaceae). It is a very rare occurring bulbous plant in the wild in the Netherlands, which is protected by law. In Belgium, the plant is extinct in the wild. The flower has purple (sometimes white) checkered petals.” — Wilma HW61 (Flickr)
