Tall and lanky with thin, dark green stems,
a few buds began to develop here and there
from the sprawling clump of foliage. Then,
tiny specs of indigo emerged from the compact
buds. Bachelor buttons were a funny name for
a flower, I thought, hard to say. They stood
the tallest in a bouquet and they were all identical,
little round disks of spiky petals and pollen strands
facing skyward.
