Favorite Flowers
I'm never really sure what my mom's favorite flowers were. I often thought of peonies when I thought of Mom and flowers because she had four or five big bushes of them in our lower yard and I know she liked them a lot. But she had other flowers, too. I think she had pansies when I was a girl, and I know she liked impatiens, begonias and coleus when I was a young mother.
I would be hard pressed to say what my favorite flower is. There are so many that seem special to me that I really couldn't limit my choice to one favorite. The fuchsia is one of my top ten, and others would be nasturtiums, portulacca, hens and chicks, alyssum (because it smells so sweet), marigolds (because of their bright, sunny colors), dianthus, poppies, tulips and daffodils. But then I think of a few others that I really like to see, and of course, there's the African violets that I have indoors. I love to see early spring violets outdoors, too, but I don't have any growing in my yard.
I'm glad that God created flowers for us to enjoy.
