I love flowers, so beautiful, so vibrant, a shot of colour for the home, but I would never buy them for myself. I also dislike cut flowers as I was brought up to think they should be in a garden for everyone to enjoy.
Maybe once or twice a year Chris will surprise me with a bouquet. I suppose that is why I appreciate them because they are unexpected. My mother in law sent me a gorgeous vase display of flowers after the birth of Zach and that was a complete surprise and made me feel very emotional (and grateful!)
This is our apple tree covered in blossom back in the spring. Flowers symbolise life and vitality. We have gorgeous roses across the front of our house and enjoy a range of flowers in our back garden during the summer. But a simple daisy is like the most precious thing to a child and pretty amazing for us grown ups too.
