I finally knew its name


Long before I knew its name
I loved it

Growing in a hedge I passed each day on my drive to work
Surrounding a cottage painted the same shade of blue

Years passed
I came to live in a cottage of my own

More years passed
I found it again as I strolled through the garden nursery

"You are 'plumbago'!"
I knew its name at last

Several came home to live with me that day
In my own cottage garden

  1. Pretty. I thought it might be a type of clematis - something I'd love to have here, but I'm not sure it would survive our climate.
