the poisonous flower

[Lorenzo]

amongst the daffodils, the lilies, plenitude of perennials , lies a lone flower.
a black rose
unlike other roses this one has no thorn, no outward defense.

beware, ye who would fall into folly to such a black rose.
for tho no outward defense , the smallest sniff from its petals,
shall cause immobility and death.

there is poison in even the most softest, delicate-looking flowers.
