When I was growing up, we used to get bulb catalogs right about now. Yes, in the middle of winter, while the snow is blowing into drifts outside and gardening is the least likely activity of the day!
But oh, the flowers! Page after page of beauty in every shape, size and color.
Now is a good time to think about them; in fact, just trying to name my favorites puts a big smile on my face. Let’s see, there’s roses, violets, gladiolas, delphinium, lilies, daisies, hollihocks, petunias, pansies,…too many to list…and they’re all my favorites!
What is (are) your favorite(s)? Why?

I am like a rich tapestry, full of texture and color.
I'm a musician, composer, poet, gardener, homemaker and friend. I worked as anLCSW for 22 years; as a socialworker for 26 years all told. Before that, I was a rehabilitation teacher.
My passion is to come alongside others; to empower and bless them. That is why you will find plenty of variety in my blog.
Two very important things to know about me is that I am a life-long learner - An explorer and sojourner.
I also belong to the Lord Jesus...now, before you get tweeked out: I am not saying I am "religious." There is a huge difference between all of the rules and empty practice that often gets associated with Christianity and the kind of life that comes from being in a relationship with the loving God.
May you find encouragement, inspiration, insight, good ideas and a laugh or two as you read my posts and comments.

Thank you. I think we need flowers this time of year. I’ll be by to visit your site.
that’s a wonderful photo, looks like a carpet in purple. My favorite flowers are old English roses with a good scent.
English roses: Lovely! I think roses need to have a good scent. Some many have been hybridized for longevity and beauty, but their fragrance is gone.
Thanks for sharing your comment.
that’s true
Flowers 😊 Dandelions are my favourite. Its what they look like and feel like that i like. The overall transformation is a good lesson to watch.https://youtu.be/UQ_QqtXoyQw .
When I was little, my sisters and I would pick huge bouquets of dandelions. They are so cheerful! Another one I like is bachelor buttons: Colorful, happy flowers.
