Funny how scientists can change
names of some plants in an instant
wonder if the plants think it’s strange
nomenclature inconsistent
wonder if they are resistant

A Fibonacci spiral of seed heads
A stalled hurricane of potential
Waiting for a breezy boost to soil beds
Patience and timing are essential
For creating purple flowers widespread

Out in flowering meadows
Under cloudy skies
Are walking rainbows
Six-legged sunrise
Whose iridescence mesmerize
