💧Erika's Dewdrop Poem

By Aqua

On the hill where no one walks,
you bloomed.
Only those who know solitude
notice the warmth of that flower.

I painted this while imagining the figure of heather blooming quietly on a winter hill,
and the presence of “someone” who notices its warmth.
I believe it became a piece where, within the stillness,
the certain light of life can be felt.

Erica

Erica cerinthoides or commonly Erika fireheath (scientific name: Erica cerinthoides) is paraphyletic graduate of Erika and is a half-hardy evergreen shrub native to South Africa. Long cylindrical branches with leaves jagged, brightly colored flowers bloom together several downward.

It is a plant blooming in a wasteland emerging from Emily Jane Brontë' novel "Wuthering Heights".
Heath is known as a plant that grows after a wildfire has occurred.
"Erica" in the genus name means "heather" in Latin and "cerinthoides" means "Cerinth (Cerinthe) + oides (similar to)" = (similar to Serinse).
The language of flowers is "lonely feeling". From blooming in a wasteland where other grass does not grow.
