Blog a la Cart

Last week was my mother’s birthday, and given my recent post acknowledging her love of flora and literature, we gifted her a copy of The Language of Flowers and requested that she decode her other gift using its contents. The arrangement we sent her includes Iris, her favorite flower. They mean “message” which is a tad ambiguous, but could suggest the birthday message that we were sending her way by its inclusion. The Ginger is wildly out of place, but I was limited to what the florist had available and wanted to include that feeling of “strength.” I’m working with my dad’s iPhone snaps, but I think you get the vision. I look forward to many more meaningful arrangements put together thanks to this dictionary.
