The purple pinks into the blue
And makes the hues
Shine through.
Up close
You can forget yourself
As edges curl
And bloom unfurls
In you.

I like that. What flower is it? It looks a relative of the cornflower, or chicory, or some such of the daisy family

It is indeed a type of cornflower. Centaurea cyanoides, or Syrian Cornflower-thistle.

The photo was taken in Israel this past April, where it grows in the wild. The blooms are about 3/4 inch across.

I love blue flowers, and the sentiment in your poetry. Nice to see you back for Sunday Stills, Na’Ama!

Thank you Terri!
Between travel to Canada in mid-July (where my sister’s family is staying this summer), and immediately upon my return having house guests from overseas (another sister who stayed with me – lovely but an opportunity for exploring NYC in the summer, which is, literally, the city that never sleeps), and seeing clients as work continued … the days and evenings were fuller and longer than usual. Oh, it was delightful, though also a little tiring (my body is a finicky little thing when it comes to sustained stamina) and left little time for blogging, which I missed. So, it is good to be back to a (somewhat) slower routine. 🙂

Time for an ‘Ohhhh my’ interlude.
Yesterday one of the characters in my latest (under construction) volume was looking at flowers very similar to this one.
Thank you for the clarification of image and the beauty of the words….(I’ll try not to plagiarise somewhere)

Thank you! 🙂
I do love “oh my”s … (well, the nice kind … ;)).
How fun that synchronicity has it that your character was looking at similar flowers! I find these things fascinating!
🙂
