Bianca Belle knew full well:
A Belle wears white, plain and bright,
To her first ball within fairy Hall.
She wanted to rebel, shh, don’t tell!
She fought, ignoring all she’d been taught,
And did her own thing, finding her inner bling.
She added orange beads, like tiny seeds,
Dangling on citrine fringe: a wild color binge.
Bianca was one in a million at the cotillion.
She set a new trend by refusing to bend
To her parent’s tradition, creating a mission
Of being unique, true to herself, bold and chic.

I love this, we should all be true to ourselves and revel in it! 😀 As for the flower, it looks wonderful, it seems familiar, but I have no idea what it is.

I don’t know what it is either. It’s a shrub or a tree. I never took the woody class in horticulture. I regret it to this day. I did study flowers, though. 🙂

I need color, too. Too much white makes me feel isolated and out of place.
