Ianthine


ianthine: violet-colored

Hello dear readers who have not given up hope on me yet! I'm so terribly sorry that I haven't written in forever. Seriously. Can you find it somewhere in your lovely hearts to forgive me?
*****
So, now that we've cleared that up :) let's get on to ianthine. Isn't this flower just beautiful? I didn't really want to put a stock photo of a violet, and even though 'tis more magenta than ianthine, I like it. Plus, it really captures the beauty and fragility of the freshly opened flower. (Oh, look at me. Now I sound like a writer! Yippee!)


Prompt: Write about overdrawn flowers. Is it possible to capture the beauty of the delicate petals with just words and ink?

Or, if that doesn't suit your fancy,
Write about where you would find this flower. Does it look strange and alien? Could you stumble upon it while trekking through the vast jungles of South America? Would it be hanging in vines off of the baobab trees in Africa? What would you be doing there?
