The perennials that have been springing up in front of my house have been a nice surprise. So far the only thing that has grown enough for me to identify are the bleeding hearts.

Rhododendrons and rushing water

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

Mountains aren’t the only things to look at in the Great Smokey Mountain National Park. Dad and I didn’t see a big variety of flowers, but in the lower elevations there seemed to be rhododendrons everywhere.

Flowers for Mom

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

We had the committal service for my mother, Allegra Bloy, today. One of the most vivid memories I have of my grandmother’s funeral, was when Mom put a flower into her mother’s grave. At the end of today’s ceremony all of us put a flower into the grave where the urn that holds her ashes rests. The beauty of flowers was something that Mom enjoyed very much. She would often write a comment here on the blog when I posted flower pictures.

So in honor of Mom, here are some shots of flowers I took recently.
