the Gold/ Copper Chrysanthemum Pas de Deux

Princess Haiku saw a fairy person dressed in a tutu made from a gorgeous gold/copper chrysanthemum dancing to the Chrysanthemum Pas de Deux under the full moon. Although she recognized the fairy's dance partner, she promised not to say. Even chrysanthemums must have their secrets.

Growing silently in Moonlight -small chrysanthemums

My chrysanthemum seedlings have been transplanted into green planter boxes where they continue to fill out and grow.

I must admit to uncertainty about what is a bud and what is a new leaf and time will tell. These little flowers are my first chrysanthemum journey. Princess Haiku they say, we will draw you into our journey by moonlight and orb of sunlight.

A few days ago I staked them and will secure the stakes with twine.

My plantlings grow with a promise of beauty and mystery for this is the, Way of the Chrysanthemum.

the heart of Rumi is the breath of a Valentine's Day Flower, said Princess Haiku

chrysanthemum,
you left me, my darling
today this unfurling

my soul is red and gold
breath again
