Royal Blossom

Royal Blossom |Königliche Blüte

A sensation. For it’s said she would open her blossoms at night. A single night. Thus we had gathered in the dark, together with Peter Ihlenfeld and others. Waiting. But it seemed she was shivering in the cold, just as we did. Her pregant buds remained closed.

The silken warmth of the morning sun aroused her to full bloom. A royal one indeed.
A sweet scent of vanilla is floating through the air. Blessed are the bees. As are us.
