Friendly buds

Little faces

greeted me on my lunch break today. Some mums broke off the main bush during transport from Elkton to home. Yesterday they were swooning near the bottom of the pot which now sits on our front stoop. Now they enjoy the only lucky spot in the house with afternoon sun.

I like the way they unfurl like spiny sea urchins, hesitant for a day... then a sunburst of boldness.
