Now I know the name of these little beauties! How wonderful that they are sharing their heart - I'm so glad this one found you! (There comes a time when you stop finding hearts, and they start finding YOU!)
Sedum is a lazy gardener's best friend, along with hosta and day lilies! No muss, no fuss, and the product is wonderful....I have these same sedum, as well as a variety of others, some bloom with white, or yellow, or pink!
Both haiku and photo are beautiful, but the photo does something the haiku does not: it shares less and leaves you wanting with dots of purple against prase-green. The haiku tells all, and skillfully and nicely, but perhaps a little too much with less layering. You might instead end the haiku with a meaningful opposition of theme. For instance, "black soil crawls beneath" -- an attempt to highlight the zigzag paths between the green leaves, and also possibly the mystery of how purple comes from dark dirt. And more, I hope. All in an effort to withhold, to show less and to make the haiku tease the mind. Let me know what you think too! :))

The green and magenta is stunning, as it that little heart peeking through, in image and haiku! Thank you Helen!
I love how nature surpises us with little joys !
Happy Friday !
I think what Bruce is saying is: "When it comes to writing haiku, less is more."
In this world of "more," "less" is not easy to achieve.
Still, I like your blossoming sedum!

Nature has a way of making us smile. Lovely photo and haiku!
Treasures all around us if we just look. Thx.
I've been painting a lot and used a lot of purple/pink in the palette... LOVE the photo of the flowers and your haiku! Enjoy the weekend!
I think it is incredible how you see hearts wherever you go. This one is amazing!
And what a show it is!
