Bittersweet

Bittersweet

It comes in bloom when winds blow cold on hilltops, in valleys, flowers get bold,
With petals of orange, scarlet centers, Bittersweet comes when autumn enters.

I will have to look up bittersweet. I don't think I have seen this one. Is it a wildflower? Thanks for stopping by with congrats. Sara

Thank you so much dear friend! Yes, autumn does have two sides to it - the bitter of barren trees and coming storms and the overwhelming sweetness of the harvest. So happy you liked this! Harvest blessings to you!
