Begonia in full bloom.

I showed the beginning of this bloom on an earlier blip which you can see url=http://www.blipfoto.com/entry/1299128]here and it's now coming out fully. Sadly I had to stand in the streaming rain to appreciate it's beauty fully!

But I took my lead from Admirer[ and produced a haiku to accompany this picture during my dogwalk to take my mind from the drips falling down my neck. Here it is:

a teardrop lingers
my red skirts swirled around
passion has been spend
