Unopened Purple Dahlia Bud — Postcard

Before it opens, this dahlia holds its purple petals in a tight, mathematical spiral, each row folding into the next like a hand-drawn pattern. The green sepals still cup the bud closed, one small edge just beginning to loosen at the top. A fitting card for anyone who notices the in-between moments — the bud before the bloom, the letter before the reply.
