[Do you know what I was, how I lived? You know what despair is; then winter should have meaning for you. I did not expect to survive, earth suppressing me. I didn’t expect to waken again… remembering after so long how to open again in the cold light

Exotic species & a favourite of over-wintering kinglet species.
