Carpe Diem & IGWRT's Words Count - "Wisteria"

Wisteria at Magnolia Plantation, Charleston, SC

Lavender garnish
courts Charlestonian gray,
droning bees, sanguine.

The painting below was painted by Viviane of "Les Peintures De Viviane" from one of my photos.  I commented on how much I loved it, but she wasn't selling this one.  She painted another just for me and gave it to me!!  I had it framed and I just adore it.


Charleston gray refers to the local brick which originated in size and coloration early in the colonial period.  "Charleston Gray" bricks come out a rusty brown when properly fired and are called gray due to the coloration of the clay used.

This is for Carp Diem Imagination #5, Wisteria a haiku meme.
