Friday flowers…for its own joy

“A flower blossoms for its own joy.”
~Oscar Wilde

“Gardens and flowers have a way of bringing people together, drawing them from their homes.”
―~Clare Ansberry, The Women of Troy Hill: The Back-Fence Virtues of Faith and Friendship

Friday flowers…curves

I have no idea what this is (input invited), but I love the delicate little waxy flowers and the graceful curves of the stem.  And doesn’t this quote from Shakespeare make you want to lie down on the bank he describes?

I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine. 
~William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night’s Dream 

A flower blossoms for its own joy.
