azalea

is a flower that bursts into a froth of deep red sparkling roses that make your mouth tingle with the sweetness of hard candy.

The azalea bursts into a froth of deep red sparkling roses that make your mouth tingle with the sweetness of hard candy. Hard candy: a snow that just won’t melt; a solid longing to liquefy; frosted lumps of snow; flakes never quite crumbling into powder, powder trying to congeal into flakes. A flower is halfway between solid and liquid, icy colors and capsules of fluid form.
