In ranks along the azure sluice,
Baptized in cleansing waters blue,
Their Glory Days are nigh at hand.
Late-bloomers take their final stand!
(R Weisser 2012)
When we think of Fall we always think of foliage, but fall also delivers the a tremendous display of wildflowers.
It’s as if Nature decides to take one last, great stand against the upcoming windows and presses forth a profusion of late blooms.
And although they are late to the party, they will make the best use of their remaining time and complete their mission of reproduction and the completion of the cycle of life!
Sometimes productivity peaks at the last minute!
And that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
