Everybody's favorite flowers--straight from the garden :)

Happy Mother's Day

V gave me this japanese maple for mother's day several years ago.  It's gorgeous. The whole garden looks beautiful.   It's so pretty, I don't even care about the weeds.  It's been a nice mother's day.  Mark grilled for us.  I planted a few flowers.  I thought a lot about all those corsages  that went out from Petals & Co and hope that Michelle & Des are recovering from their all-nighter.  I missed having corsages for us--I was so busy making bracelets for the prommers that I forgot all about ours.   Next year. . . when prom is not the same weekend as mother's day!  That will be a mother's day present for all florists everywhere :)

Flower Tradition

Hope everybody had a great mother's day.  I thought about all the women in my life who have been my mothers, my co-mothers, my fellow mothers and it made me a little weepy.   I remember going out into the yard with mama to cut  roses to wear for mother's day when I was young.  V says they always wore corsages for mother's day too.   Red if your mother was  living, white if your mother had passed.   I'll put this on the list for next year.  It's a tradition worth keeping :-)
