Paula Craig - The Brandonflower blooms in September+Narrative

The Brandonflower blooms in September the time when heat dies down and ripening is happening, happening is ripening. It shoots straight up from the ground, sudden, in its own season, commanding color, curving petals, crowned with a complex of stamen, a delicate poof with trailing parts going down, complete in itself – a startling production of the lifeforce underground. Later come the leaves. pcraig 1-16-14
