The word 'hesperis' came to me, I know not from where,
some time after a dream I had where my friend who just got married
was married already, and his apartment was in the same place but different,
and I was given new clothes of red and black by his wife,
and she did a scholarship search for me on her computer,
and I insisted that I was not Greek...
I have strange dreams.
(The ones I remember anyway!)
The dream is jumbled in my memory now, I have it written down somewhere though.

Anyway, I seached for hesperis on yahoo, this is what I learned:

Hesperis is a lesser Goddess of ancient Greece,
a dancer around the trees of golden apples,
and a handmaiden of Helos.

Hesperis is also hesperis matronalis,
a flower also known as Damask Violet, Dame's Violet,
Sweet Rocket, Dame's Rocket, and Mother of the Evening.
It is a night-bloomer with a very sweet scent,
and ranges in colour from white to purple.

Purple is my favorite colour right now.

I thought of signing up as Brighid, because she is my favorite (named) Goddess,
but I have email in hesperis already, and I know too many people named Brighid or Brigette...
