Mother’s Day Flowers

Happy Mother’s Day!

Last year, Mother’s Day must have been later because I used blackberry blossoms for a vase. This year, a yellow lady’s slipper flower and wild geraniums from the yard were the choice flowers for my wife.

These tall yellow flowers are common in sunny areas.  They remind me a bit of the cardinal flower, in that they would be more spectacular if all the blossoms bloomed simultaneously.
