Twinflower (Dew Drop Inn #22) [41]
Twinflower
Five pendulous lobes each hang in pairs.
Our pistils pregnant as leaves expectant
celebrate new specks of being.
So tiny. Smaller even than our pink corollas
that begged the bee to visit, sip sweet nectar,
leave a grain of pollen to spark new life.
Oh how simple things provide such wonder;
how joyous to be alive.
(Dew Drop Inn prompt #22)
The flower of Linnaea borealis is the provincial flower of Småland, the home province of Linnaeus (and where my Swedish roots were born).
