    Claude was 100% right!

    we must have flowers around us always and always ,we should also plant flowers of sublime thoughts in the garden of our mind to cheer and uplift our soul always and always

    I don't think I have ever seen any of these. Are they wild, or cultivated? It is gorgeous! Is it yours? Now I will remember what it is if I should see one.

      I think these were cultivated Ginny. I found them at a garden I will be sharing next week so no, they were not mine.

    I second Monet's comments. Flowers enliven life in the purest way.
