Remember that “little rose” I found last post? Well the bud opened and I took more photos. I also asked Apple’s Lookup what it thought it was and it thinks it’s a Scarlet Pimpernel.

I vaguely remember there is a book with that title…

The novel is set during the Reign of Terror following the start of the French Revolution. The title is the nom de guerre of its hero and protagonist, a chivalrous Englishman who rescues aristocrats before they are sent to the guillotine. Sir Percy Blakeney leads a double life: apparently nothing more than a wealthy fop, but in reality, a formidable swordsman and a quick-thinking master of disguise and escape artist. The band of gentlemen who assist him are the only ones who know of his secret identity. He is known by his symbol, a simple flower, the scarlet pimpernel (Anagallis arvensis).

It’s so weird that once I found this little flower, I see more of them on my walks.

It seems my muse is now interested in drawing again, which pleases me. I’ve been watching videos for a class I purchased back in February but got too busy during Birbuary to be able to watch it.

Until next time…
