When you have a garden with perennial flowers,
you find yourself anticipating the blooms.
For the past couple of years,
I have waited for the arrival of the purple balloon flowers
I planted along a sidewalk.
The balloon-shaped buds start out green,
then quickly turn purple.
One day you think they will never open,
the next day, purple star-shaped flowers are everywhere.
Patience is rewarded.
