Flowers for special occasions

Flowers are such a wonderful thing on a special occasion. They can say we love you, when we say goodbye to a good friend, husband, brother, brother in law.



and they can also be just ordinary flowers growing in a garden, but how they can cheer us when our faces alight on theirs....

and they almost seem to have even more significance when a marriage is celebrated, don't you think?

And then when you come home to your own garden, there is often a little overlooked gem sitting beaming at you from the bushes. Thank you to my little zygocactus, for being a faithful flower every year.

Love the many ways flowers cheer us up or celebrate the memory of someone dear to our hearts. The flowers all were beautiful.

I absolutely LOVE receiving flowers for a special occasion. My husband thinks it's a frivolous expenditure, but I've sent flowers to my sister and to my d-i-l and they were thrilled.

Your photos of flowers are fabulous--sharp and clear.

Orange brush flowers, Cindra, are a form of Banksia spinulosa.......which I love too.

Dearesst Annie,

I am back because I realize I forgot to say something that I mean to say...I got so carried away with your beautiful flowers, and forgot to write in my comment that you and your family will be in my prayers. I am very sorry about the loss of your brother-in-law...my heart is with all of you. Sending you big hugs and prayers for comfort for everyone in your family, Janine xx
