Hepatica
Hepatica Trembling and new First to bloom with a whisper of winters turning. Tender stem, petals turned down blushing with her show until the sun's rays kiss. Roots wander this way and that. rhizomes that you can't see like legs and hips beneath a matron's gown. She is tidy enough to be wanted. Wild enough to spring up wherever she likes. Choosing only a few lush corners to make her show, she is wise enough to only stay for one afternoon.
