Bonjour Berenice,

Now you only have to find out the name of this splendid flower. Looks a bit like poppy.

Good idea to make the photo from above.

As to William Blake, give him my greetings when you happen to meet him. Right now I am chewing the fat with Patrolman Mancuso and Myrna Minkoff.

gracias amigos
glad you witnessed the little flower's week of joy

herr Georg, i still don't know the name of the flower, btu i will try to find out and let you know, i got this plant at a supermarket and to confess i was suspicious it would survive over 1 flower, that was months ago! and it has flowered many times now

ah Vielen Dank herr Thilolito, and yes, it's been 40 years almost on the making of 'me' ha ha
many hugs, and some besos back <3

dear Dr. Jay SW, ah! yes the imminent Spring, that comes & goes and bring us flowers and tender hearts :) glad you like the set

& actually yesterday another new flower was born from the same pot, of course i took a picture of it again, but soon...

have a good weekend

What Blake sees as "a labor of ages" can also be seen as Nature in all her glory paying tribute to mortality in a way only she can' such that the rest of the world marvels at it!
