purple

this is my tag for purple


I continued with the spring flowers theme
and used quite a few different purple wild flowers
and seedheads that I pressed


I also wanted to incorporate the lilac fairy somewhere
as I adore the scent of lilac in late spring / May time

the text reads "the cottage garden has a lilac tree"

and behind an honesty seed pod I printed
"the song of the lilac fairy"

white May is flowering
red May beside
laburnum is showing
gold far and wide

but I sing of lilac
the dearly loved lilac
lilac, in Maytime
a joy and a pride

I love her so much
that I never can tell
if she's sweeter to look at
or sweeter to smell

happy May Day tomorrow everyone!
best wishes, Carolyn ♥
