purple haze surrounds
lavandula sky dreaming …
playing hendrix tunes
lavandula...(common name lavender)
is a genus of 47 known species of
flowering plants in the mint family

Placed 2'nd...Thank You
Clementine and Valentine; Margarita and Sangria...
A Mandarine, a Lime, a Blood Orange, and a Valencia...
Each one occupying particular spots,
Four little trees residing in decorative pots.
They might feel their placement's not right;
As they only get just a few hours sunlight.
They look down at the strawberries below,
Wishing they had such space for their roots to grow.
Even worse, to add insult to their injury,
They must share their pots with plants of the mint family--
Lower plants that the Planter didn't bother to name--
Certainly near-weeds of dubious fame.
Margarita and Sangria, Clementine and Valentine
Will be transplanted someday; they're just biding their time.
