Poppy & Larkspur

Click here for an audio guide by Srila Chatterjee

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.
