A Wellspring of Worth
Author's Note
One of the rarest roses in the world is the Applause Blue Rose. Named "Applause," or "dreams come true." The blue rose is genetically modified to synthesize delphinidin, a pigment found in most blue flowers. The rose was first released in in Tokyo in 2009, after 20 years of research by Suntory, a Japanese company that also distills whisky, and its Australian subsidiary, Suntory Flowers. While the flower might appear more silver-purple than sky-blue, Applause at nearly 100% blue, is the closest to a true blue rose yet. Blue roses have a mythic quality because they were nearly impossible to grow. Roses appear naturally in many shades of red, pink, yellow and white, but lack the natural ability to produce blue pigments.

A deep thought and a geeky thought, two for the price of one. But wild flowers are still my favorite. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. 🌼

I too, love wild flowers, AJ... Who can't help but smile when coming across randomly growing beauty!? ;) They're definitely some of my favorites, as well. I'm partial to roses because I am one (yes, it's true!) and they've always held special meaning in my life from the time that I was a child until this moment all these years later, for some reason or another they've accented my 'story'...So I guess the metaphoric use is perhaps a bit autobiographical too...
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me, I am always so grateful to get other perspectives.
Much love and sweet wildflower scents your way

Sometimes those are things hard to recognize and even harder to cultivate.
I deeply appreciate you taking the time to stop by and for leaving me your insights.
It means a lot to me, dear poet.

Re. A Wellspring of Worth
Dear BV,
I very much enjoyed the beautiful poem as well as the information about the rose. That was extremely interesting. I’ve never actually seen a blue rose, nor heard of one. What a process.
Beautiful write. H🌷

Hey there, H ;)
I have only recently come to be aware of them and understand their origins... they're truly gorgeous.
I really like the fact that they're pretty much unable to become sky blue (unless dyed) and that they become this beautiful mauve-ish color, which maintains this allure for me.
I'm not thrilled you enjoyed my little senryú and felt something from it, dear lady
It's always a pleasure ✨

and just because you're seen as rare or even meek doesn't necessarily translate to meaning weak...

The seeds are rare as you, my blue rose darling. And the meek are precious to behold. There is a delicacy in them that endears their loved ones. Your poem is a delight my blue sky rose.

Precious are the meek indeed.
A fragile poem but beautifully presented.
A haiku worthy of distinction.
And rightfully so.
Good to see and thank you Bluevelvete for sharing.

Hey there, Shaun ;)
I thank you for taking a gander @ my little haiku, I have this thing for flowers, so it's a metaphor within a metaphor within a metaphor, I suppose...?
inception haiku, if you will...ha!
Lol
I'm glad you found some worth!
You're a bright, kind soul and it's been a fun time getting to know you a bit.
I appreciate you and I hope to see you soon

Re: Re. A Wellspring of Worth
Awww, thank you so very much, lovely lady -'ღ´-
I feel your kind words, deeply, today, ID.
Sometimes in life there's nothing better in a particular moment than to have a soothing balm course through your mind and thoughts, allowing for some much needed reprieve; so I am moved and very touched that my little senryú could help with extending you a little bit of that therapeutic sensation.
I'm truly grateful you enjoyed and that you stopped in to share with me why.
What a pleasurable treat to see you 🦋 and to be so warmed by your thoughtfulness.
I hope you are hanging in there... and I just wanted to also mention how happy I was to see that you had returned to us here on DUP. I can certainly empathize with the stressors that life can press upon and wholly understand taking a break from this place but I hope you know how lovely and truly brightening it is to have your pressence back. You and your poetry illuminate and bring joy to so many; it reverberates and makes for such a wonderful and much needed uplifting atmosphere.
*A reminder of the positive effects that happiness and love one person can spread.... thank you for that.
Much love and warm wishes sent your way ✨
