Flower for the Day Wall Flower 5-9-18

The Wall flower is usually one of my earliest flowers. It is a dependable perennial and has now spread to several non contiguous areas. My birds are very handy seed spreaders.

Wallflower

Each day she pokes through the soil
wearing moss coloured clothes
and twigs in her hair,
then the wailing starts;
she doesn't want to be grown.
