This blossom along Anderson Ave stopped me in my tracks, its white petals catching the morning light, its crimson center glowing like a secret it was just about to tell. I moved in close, but in the end, it was the full bloom that I used for my 07/16/25 postcard. There’s something about seeing the whole story unfold.
