If she was in New Orleans, the Lady of Shalott could be a botanical story, since that's what they call scallions there, though I guess they call shallots something else. I love what Auden said about Tennyson, that he has "had the finest ear, perhaps, of any English poet; he was also undoubtedly the stupidest.”
I have clemantis in my flowerbeds. It's one of my favorite colorful contributions to the landscape.
The vivid blooms you've included here for our enjoyment are beautiful, bright inspirations for us all regarding colorful potential additions to our own gardens or more humble window boxes.
I look at flowers for a living. (QA manager for a giant online/catalog/wholesale nursery) I try not to let myself become jaded. Fortunately I recognize good execution. That's a real good standard for what I do, but it's hard these days to get excited about a plant. These are exciting! The plant itself is impressive. Nice tight structure. I doubt if I'll grow any this year. I'll probably start asking around for seeds and plan on growing a buttload myself next year.

WM is stuck with flowers while the rest of us crave vegetables...

Saw Night Sky petunias last week that were deep purple and gold. 🤩
Nice!

I'm going back by there in a couple days. Will send a pic if it is still blooming.
