Thank you for this one. Wish it could get Wiki-leaked!

Looks like Swiss chard. Any errors in spelling or word choice are strictly Siri's fault.

I think it is Swiss chard. But what are the white flecks? Good poem, given the election results.

"Differences" is certainly an understatement. It remains to be seen which version will show up for the task, but if they can keep him on the teleprompter and off Twitter, that should be a good start.

Danny, thanks for this reminder today. We are better together, if we don't let our differences divide in an irreparable way. Oak leaf hydrangea would be by guess re the leaf. I so appreciate the way you remind us of our big, bold, beautiful world.

Buddhists say it’s all One.
At that level all difference disappears.
Or rather, the differences make no difference.

Is this Swiss chard?

This plant was photographed at Longwood Gardens. The prayer was written the day after Donald Trump was elected the 45th president of the United States.
