Birth of the Orchid

med_cat: (Default)




(photos by [livejournal.com profile] igorsamusenko)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE BIRTH OF THE ORCHID

Wrapped in her robe of amethyst
Rose the young Dawn.
Pallid with passion came the Mist,
And followed on
Fleet as a fawn.
Down by the sea they clasped and kissed;
Swooned the young Dawn.

Out of that kiss of dew and flame
The orchid came.

World Voices by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
New York : Hearst's International Library Company 1916.

Yes, they can be tricky to grow...

These photos were taken by Igor Samusenko at a large botanical garden.
