Entry 32: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow

 



https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brunfelsia_pauciflora

This flower is blossoming right now. It's called Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow. The flower starts as a deep purple bud, then as it opens up, it turns lighter purple. As the evening approaches, the flower turns pale purple, then the same flower turns white by night. The same flower turns from deep purple to white in just one day. Marvellous, don't you think? The smell is stronger than jasmine. The fragrant lingers throughout its blossom. Calming effect.

Haiku: 
Yesterday you came

Today you show your full dress

but gone tomorrow.
