💧Digitalis Drops: “The Shape of Prayer”


by Aqua

When I smiled and said, “I’m okay,”
 Deep down, I actually wanted to cry a little.

But the words that
gently bloomed in the palm of my hand
were a prayer to protect someone.

—That’s why,
that flower sways quietly,
beautiful even while
hiding its true feelings.

💧Birth Flower for March 27: Foxglove (Japanese name: Kitsunenote-bukuro)
Flower meanings: Insincerity, Passionate Love, Hidden Feelings, Hope
This flower is a very mysterious presence,
concealing poison within its beauty…🌸🌫️

💧Shizuku’s Thoughts
Foxglove is a B flower where “strength and fragility” coexist.B
When we smile for someone else,
we sometimes gently hide our own feelings—

I’ve tried to capture that tenderness and poignancy
in a poem, superimposing it onto the swaying of the flower.

Digitalis, the foxglove, (scientific name: Digitalis purpurea L.), is native to Europe and is a cold-resistant annual, biennial, perennial or shrub in the family Plantaginaceae. It is a tall plant that extends the inflorescences from the tip of long flower stems and makes many tubular flowers bloom. The flowers bloom diagonally downward. In the first year only rosette-like leaves are crowded, and the flowers bloom after the second year. The basic color is purple, but there are many horticultural varieties such as red, pink, orange, yellow, pale yellow and white double color, spotted on the inside of the flower. The whole grass is a toxic plant, but if used properly by experts, it is also considered to be a medicinal use, and it is believed that the leaves have an effective ingredient for cardiac action.
