Flowers every night
Blossom in the sky;
Peace in the Infinite;
At peace am I.

Sighs a hundredfold
From my heart arise;
My heart, dark and cold,
Flames with my sighs.


The Rubaiyat of Jalal Al-Din Rumi
Select translations into English Verse' by A.J. Arberry, 1949.




Dianthus barbatus has visited us again, but this time its flowers  disguised themselves as...  Persian rugs. In my opinion, it is the other way around and I suspect that  all Persian carpets try to look like the ornamental petals of this simple yet extraordinary plant.  
The slideshow  presentation below tries - in vain- to reflect the exquisite intricacy of the unique patterns sweet william designs for us.  To double the pleasure of watching the blossoms, please listen to a young countertenor, whose  amazing voice and interpretation resemble those awesome motifs Persian carpets are famous for. I wish they could sing like Cenk Karaferya.
