“The flower is the poetry of reproduction. It is an example of the eternal seductiveness of life.”
~Jean Giraudoux
I’ve lost a bit of that sense of the eternal seductiveness in the last 24 hours, struggling with some wretched virus or something that wants to grab hold of me.
Today was slated for starting the first of the lettuce seedlings. I got as far as filling the fiber flats with seed-starting medium… and then called it a day.
I’ll just go and rest now, with a fistful of new seed packets to mull over as I drift off to sleep.

Its a beautiful flower to start off the day. A morning glory – a apt name for a flower that opens every morning to brighten up our day.
It is a lovely morning welcome. 🙂
Flower has been described well…. Insects , admirers and gardeners had been seduced for zillion of years. But seduction itself is a skill to be mastered….. ~bangchik
So true, bangchik. I think we gardeners are all trying to master that skill. 🙂
Visually stunning and lovely poetry. Perfect. I hope you feel better with the new day! 😉 carol
Thank you, Carol. 🙂
i hope you feel better soon!
Thank you, Alisha! I need to get away from this screen ASAP and lie down. 😉
Beautiful bloom. Feel better soon, Meredith. Rest, rest and more rest is called for.
You are so right. I’m off to do so again now. (I get “sick” of the sitting still pretty quickly, I’m afraid. ;))
Yes – something is going around. I hope you feel better soon!
Thanks, Lynn. Working on it…
I hope you feel much better – very soon. Take care of yourself!
Get some rest, take care of yourself — dream of big lettuce leaves and other goodies to come.
