One of my favorite flowers. Like coreopsis tinctoria, scabiosa, and red geraniums, they seem simple and "common" at first, but if you look closely and consider, you see that they're in fact some of the most elegant and interesting plants.
"The essayist is a self-liberated man, sustained by the childish belief that everything he thinks about, everything that happens to him, is of general interest." -E.B. White, in the Foreword to his collection "Essays"

Clématite
Clematis (clématite, en francais). This bloomed incredibly dark purple, hanging in curtains from a simple frame on Remy's side of the garden, surrounded by (at that time) blankets and pillars of roses. The clematis' simple form, their sleekness, and their twiggy vines and tendrils made them especially shocking and beautiful.

Fields outside of Domremy
Walking from Domremy out to la Chapelle de Bermont, where Joan went to pray every week. (This was very strange for anyone, especially a young girl, to do.)
This was my favorite day, and my favorite field out of every field I walked through.
