Pink Splendor


Pink Splendor

a Haiku by Hyacinth


Pink jewels of splendor

Dance along slender green reeds

Joyful abundance


September 2009




The spectacular blooms on this Phalaenopsis are veined with deep magenta. The elegant blooms grow along the graceful stems and are truly a sight to behold.

The summer we married, my husband was in graduate school, and I was employed as a teacher. We took a portion of our savings that summer and purchased a sailboat. We christened our Catalina 22, “Hyacinths For The Soul” after Saadi’s poem. Our "Hyacinths" provided years of pleasure.

    Hi Sarah,

    Thank you so much for your visit. I admit to having a weakness for orchids. They are such an exotic and fleeting plant, at least for me because none of them ever last very long in my care.

    Sarah, thanks so much for your sweet comments on the blue-gray china etc. I'll be out hunting for more this week, I'm hooked, lol!

    Lovely orchid - such amazing flowers but I always seem to kill them - not enough bright light I fear.

    Lovely post, Sarah... both the haiku and the orchid.

    That orchid looks like it has little pink pearls on its face. Amazing, isn't it?

    Still computerless and am on a borrowed one and hence, borrowed time...

    XO,
