Sedum Heart

Sedum flowering

purple blossoms bursting forth

with a show of heart

Anticipation

Promise of summer

unfolding slowly to show

its radiant glory. 

I'd love to say this sunflower blossom is from my garden...  however I'll 'fess up that it's from a recent visit to the nursery where my husband works.  I do have sunflowers in the garden, but they are not this close to blooming. But soon! Especially if this luscious warm weather hangs around. 

Sharing today with Rebecca and the wonderful haiku artists at Haiku My Heart 

HuMp DaY Haiku - Flowering Current

Flowering Current

Though it's advertised as red

this is clearly pink

And it's just starting to bloom... finally. The wild flowering currents have been in full  bloom and are nearly red... closer than this pale pink. We bought this shrub at the Bellevue Botanical Gardens plant sale several years ago... and we most disappointed when they bloomed light pink. I love it regardless. We're working on finding a real red one for another spot in the garden. 

I started doing Hump Day Haiku with Carla Sonheim's Silly classes...  and decided as a challenge for myself, I'd continue.  In this process, I have found that creating a haiku (non rhyming poem with 5 - 7 - 5 syllables per line) feeds my soul. 

I especially like creating them to go with my photos and art.
