Tiny Pink Bells

These tiny pink bells are such lovely little flowers that I wanted to share a whole patch of them for you today. Perhaps at one point I knew their name, but certainly it’s escaped now and flown off with the summer heat. (Update: I hear from a reader that this is actually called Spreading Dogbane). We can bring back at least a memory of this warmth by looking at the flowers with their deep pink stems and interiors, along with their delicate form. They look so jaunty, without a care in the world, oblivious to their seasonal fate. There’s a lot to be said for taking each day at a time, not dreading what might happen tomorrow. I must try to remember that more often. The bells are also signalling a big day ahead for me in 10 days. See if you can guess what it is, my friends. I have been thinking about what flower to share to celebrate that day. Until tomorrow! Flower a Day #490 View all posts on the Home page.
