“Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.” ~Marcel Proust

Oh Flora bella. What a good friend to Commemorate the Date and a lovely place to buy flowers. Lisa Roy is pure joy to work with and truly, truly loves what she does. Here’s an excerpt from her website:
First Botanical Memories: Patiently awaiting the first sight of seedlings followed by vivid orange marigold blooms planted in the garden with Mom. Cracking open milkweed pods and finding a silky fluff of seeds with Dad. Peonies, rhubarb, raspberries. Waterlilies, horsetail grass, lichen and moss.
