Find Your My friend in Colorado emailed me today about her hiking trip. She described all the beautiful wild flowers she saw. It seems wild flowers are on everyone’s mind. The past week every newscast mentioned the passing of Lady Bird Johnson. Of course when you mention Lady Bird you must also mention her passion for wild flowers and the wild flower center that bears her name. We must also credit Lady Bird Johnson with the initiation of the wild flower highway program.
It made me realize how flowers are a part of our lives and how we need them. Whether cut flowers or wild flowers the positive energy that comes from flowers is amazing. Flowers can celebrate a birthday, an achievement, a milestone, comfort the grieving or lonely, but most of all flowers can make us smile.
As someone once told me “You can give people many things and get many reactions but when you give flowers you can be sure that the reaction will always be a smile”.
Here are a few flower arrangements to get those smiles going.
I enjoyed your blog on Lady Bird and wild flowers. I remember traveling as a child and seeing all the wildflowers as we traveled along the highway’s. Now as adult many years later I see wildflower along the highways and it reminds me of all the fun I had traveling with my family visit as many states as we could! I’m smiling as I write this, what a joy flowers bring!
