For Dear Selina, happy birthday, joy and health in the forthcoming year
to my dear friends and watchers!
I want to here on any comment and fav. I apologize if I may not respond individually- my messages box is overloaded and I want to catch up first with devwatch and journals.
Yeah they are, one of my cousins had those at her wedding, it smelled so pretty. My flowers were tulips and lavender roses at my 1st wedding. At my second I had red roses, carnations, daisies, ferns and one lone trillium. The trillium smells amazing too and is my favorite flower. When my husband and I have money to renew our vows (hopefully at year 5 or 10) I want a bouquet of all trillium. They are expensive though and I could only afford one last year. The reason they are so pricy is they are Wisconsin's state flower and are super difficult to grow cultivated. On their own they grow fine, but when people try and grow them outside of a swamp, it usually doesn't work well.
When I was little and lived in Wisconsin they grew wild close to our home. My nana (foster grandma) took me to see them in her woods along the lake shore. She brought me out early one morning just as the sun was starting to rise. They looked like glowing stars fresh fallen from heaven and smelled just as good. Nana has been gone for 2 years now. But every time I see or smell one of those lovely flowers I think of her. That is why, even though they are expensive, I just had to have one as part of my second wedding boquet. She was there physically for my first marriage and having the flowers along made me feel like she was there for my second as well. She was a very special lady and I will never forget her as long as Trilliums bloom.
