Horticulture, Me, No

Whatever the plant is
I feel it must have a purpose
Perhaps to flavour the soup
Or to keep evil spirits at bay

It is not a Bay
For we have one of those in our garden
The leaves we use in curries
And other culinary delights

I take a photograph
Knowing the description will be inadequate
However, in the framing of the image
I am more drawn to the layered cloud sky

Which I am also pretty certain
Will have an encyclopaedic name
Which will make no mention
Of its effect on me this morning
