The shy larkspur appears with the poppy in several paintings. The larkspur is tall and
elegant in contrast with the full-bodied poppy. The flowerbed gleams with opulence,
like exquisite marble set with gemstones, and a hashiya [margin] of embossed gold.
The poppy and larkspur bloom annually. In gardens and in verse, they are planted in
alternating rows: the larkspur in the border and the poppy in the calligraphic text. A
devout poet credits this coupling to the divine gardener - God- for his creativity.
