Painted Lady On Sneezeweed Blossom   1 comment

Painted Lady (August 2017) — Image by kenne

Sneezeweed so yellow
on mountains so blue.
Two cups, beginning
a blossom so yellow.
Pouring forth nectar
each a revengeful burst.

A painted lady lighting,
wine tasting of Chardonnay,
winging under the influence.
Leaving each flower behind,
next comes Tinker Bell,
next for the old gray Eeyore.

In among the ferns

Yellow daisy-like flowers,

The sneezeweed stand tall.

I’m still learning to identify southern Arizona wildflowers and one that I always recognize by name is sneezeweed. But, despite its name, sneezeweed does not cause an allergic reaction. Actually, I prefer another one of its names, Helen’s Flower. In Greek mythology, Helenium emerge from the tears of Helen of Troy.
