Passiflora, also called passionflowers, bloom in intricate starbursts, drawing every eye to their fleeting display.

A striking botanical term used to vivid effect in this #haiku.

Summer morning
even the air is quiet
soaking in the rays.
Insects lie low, silent birds;
but life races forth unheard.
Summer human
finds her own peace
in glorious days.

かすがののやまとなでしこをりてけるこころをひとはおもひしらなむ

On Kasuga Plain
A native pink
I picked, that
My heart, she
Would come to know…
