Searching for Star Blossoms at Midnight

Every night at midnight, the purple clouds came out to dance with the blushing sky. Deep black plum blankets highlighted with lavender and violet hues bloomed across a suddenly rosy atmosphere. They swirled and dipped in waves of iridescent color, folding in on themselves one minute and then racing across the vast expanse the next. And below them, in any greenspace that could be found, the Star Blossoms bloomed. Rich navy petals with bioluminescent white flecks and glowing seafoam green veins burst from the earth. Their stems were the darkest shade of green and felt like velvet while their aroma was an invigorating mixture of fresh cut grass and some delicate exotic fruit.
