If birds call to us, flowers certainly talk. The language of flowers has always fascinated me. In days gone by, people would send messages without writing a word, by bouquet: the flowers themselves did the talking. I used http://www.languageofflowers.com to translate some of the blooms in our garden (photos from the last two summers). I don’t guess I’ll be giving anybody hydrangeas, though. A big thanks to my husband for cultivating our beautiful flower garden!
