I did some reading, and apparently the flower that is called Fukujusoo or Pheasant Eye, blooms early. A close relative Adonis Vernalis also grows here in Sweden. Apart from blooming early it is very poisonous. Like many flowers it turns it’s face towards the sun to absorb the heat.

Very nice. I love the juxtaposition of “lapping” and “blinking”
What a beautiful haiku!! thanks for the info as well:)

no matter how much sun they lap up…
Ironic fact that the “long life” flower is poisonous…

Nice and interesting!
Isn’t it amazing how often beauty and death are intermingled?
Well done, Bjorn. Plants will do that. 🙂 — Suzanne
Somewhat a cousin of the sunflower perhaps! Nicely Bjorn!
