313 days into my year long making of a daily still life. The vibrant Montbretia. The Irish poet Eamon Grennan (born 1941) wrote a poem about this gorgeous plant:
Gone
The little house grows quiet now she’s gone from it—
so he’ll set small orange embers of montbretia in a vase
before the bedroom mirror although its petals can behold
no more than themselves in the cold truth-telling glass.
—Eamon Grennan
