National Plant a Flower Day 2025
 |
Indeed, my attempts at ornamental horticulture have been universally unsuccessful due to that lack of growing skills so evident in many of my ancestors.
Grandma Sallie, Grandma Ida, Auntie Laura, even my sister's gigantic alien appearing aloe vera in her kitchen. They are all related to me. They all grew prolific flower beds or other examples of plants and all I could ever do is admire them.
Today is National Plant Flower Day.
It is held on March 12 annually in the name of blooms and foliage everywhere.
Flowering plants often provide foodstuffs that are vital to the lives of people.
I personally enjoy viewing the flowers planted by others and wistfully imagine myself as growing similar examples of them myself.
Flowers are uplifting and their beauty has become symbolic over the years and across the cultures of the world.
