Today, this little purple crocus appeared in our backyard. Our first flower of Spring!
It’s not a lilac per se, but the fact that it appeared today on the day we discussed that particular poem feels meaningful to me. It’s like a little “hello” from the Whitman beyond, so naturally I wanted to share with you all.

Beautiful! I love your interpretation of it as a little message from Walt. And hey, crocuses and lilacs are both purple, so you’re not too crazy for associating one with the other!
This is so wonderful to see especially with how wishy-washy the weather has been. As the seasons change, Whitman remains!
