Butter & eggs

04 Oct 2024 29
I was probably two years old when my father pointed out that these flowers had a sweetness at the bottom of their tails. I and my siblings ate them, or rather sucked them, through our respective childhoods. We called them honeysuckle. Later I heard a half-dozen different names for them; the one that stuck is probably the most common North American name, butter & eggs. This was late this afternoon, after walking around my favourite local park.
