Giving Her Advice On Adding Purple

I wanted to add purple to my garden, she said. She was lucky to have me, I thought in my head. What about catmint, hydrangea, or meadow rue? She looked confused, like she did not know what to do. There is always lavender, corydalis, alluring allium too. She took a step back and landed heavily on my shoe. Spiderwort, mist flower, violet, anise, I suggested to her. She did not respond fast, so I mentioned lupine, so pure. How do you know so much about flowers, she asked me. I don’t know, I guess I have grown up with them naturally. Verbena, leading lady plum and bellflower might be the way… She screamed, turned on her heel, and ran squarely away. Written 6-5-2022 Contest: Purple Flower Contest Sponsor: Nayda Ivette Negron Flores
