I am thankful for flowers and the memories they bring.
As I was walking around the yard yesterday, I realized that many of the flowers I saw have a special person associated with them.
 |
| This rose bush was a retirement gift from a dear friend. |
 |
| These Siberian irises are from our previous house. I gave some to a friend, and years later, when we moved, she gave me some back for my new house. |
 |
| These irises came from my aunt's yard. |
 |
| These helibore came from a friend, whom I met at the library. |
 |
| These irises came from Ward's grandmother's yard. |
 |
| This rhododendron was a gift in memory of my mother. It is West Virginia's state flower, and it blooms in what was her favorite color. |
So for these beautiful flowers and the special memories they bring, I am thankful.
Until next time...
I like that these flowers are special to you. These flowers you're showing are quite pretty.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day.
There are more plants that I didn't show that have special associations with them. I hadn't realized I had to many until I looked around.
