SENIOR LADY: AMAZING MOTHER'S DAY FLOWERS!

 

My Mom and I were discussing what to give

each other for Mother's Day.  She hates

it, if we give each other money. My Mom

thinks were are exchanging money. She

thinks that I am giving her the same money

that she gave me! She's ninety years old and

I can't convince her this is untrue!

Recently, Mom began wearing turban caps

when we go to run errands. She could only

find them in navy and black. I was able

to find these turbans in several colors.

I purchased a package of 10 colored

turbans. This is going to be one of her

Mother's Day gifts. I will not be accused

of exchanging money this time!

My Mom offered me money so I could buy

my own Mother's Day gift. I agreed with

this. I told her I wanted to buy me a bouquet 

of some type of purple flowers. The big box

 store didn't have floral arrangements. I didn't

 like the planters of  Hydrangeas, Cala Lilies, 

Daisies, and Orchids on display. 

 I had to stop at the grocery store. I was surprised 

to see a large display of floral arrangements near

 the  produce department.  They had large teacups 

filled with succulents. Planters with Roses, Daisy

 and  Lily mixed bouquets, and Mini Pussy Willow

 Trees were available too. I was impressed with

the display but didn't see any purple flowers.

I spotted a display of  flowers on a carousel in

a corner, near the bakery. Eureka! There was

 one bouquet of purple flowers there. They were

 very pretty. I had never seen this  type of flowers

 before. I bought them anyway. I was able to examine

 the flowers better when I got home. The label on the

wrapper said  the name, Campanula. 

I had to research this flower online. These bell 

shaped flowers are perennials.  They  are available

 in purple, pink, white, lavender, and blue. The flowers

featured online were in the ground.  I wondered if my

 Campanula cut flowers could be propagated. I did find

 a video which confirmed that this is possible. I'm going

to experiment with a few of the flowers. I will be so

 thrilled if I am successful in propagating these very

 beautiful flowers.
