while outside leaves drift
orchids bloom in the kitchen
blush on a grey day

My response to Carpe Diem #1548 orchids (ran) (classical kigo)
Today we have a classical kigo for autumn to work with: ‘orchid’ (ran). We also have a haiku by Buson on Ran, written in 1777:
yoruno ran kani kakureteya hanashiroshi
orchids in the night
in their fragrance hidden —
the flowers white.

I took the photograph this morning – it’s so dark and dismal out there!

Nice one, I like your image, I have a white orchid, I would have taken a photo but not sure how to get it setup on my computer from my cell phone, must start learning how to do it instead of getting a image from the internet.

Thank you, Elsie. The two normal sized orchids have continued to flower but the miniature one has sadly stopped.
