The sunshine mother smiles

Dahlia
♥ Join Green Thumb Sunday ♥

This is called a water lily Dahlia over here. The right name is Dahlia x Hortensis “Twilight Time”, cult. Mexico, Asteraceae. I’ve never seen any one like it, it was very big too, which doesn’t show on the picture.

I think my Mom would have loved it, but unfortunately she can’t come out and see it any more. This garden where this is taken, Bergianska, is too far away from her bed and she has too bad vision nowadays.

The reason for me saying this is that it’s Mothers Day over here in Sweden today, so we’re going over there to celebrate.

“What the sunshine is for the flowers, the smile is for the humans”.

That saying reminds me of my mother very much, because despite the fact of her very difficult life and situation, she always have her wonderful laugh – or giggle, which I admire her tremendously for.

Happy Mothers Day :-D

    Happy Swedish Mother’s Day! That’s a gorgeous shot and an amazing flower — I had heard of dahlias, but not of that kind.

    Don’t worry about your blue flower, I made the picture big and then the flower was big too, see that was very easy !
    Motherday today ? I know that in Holland the day is different and I think in the UK too, because my son always celebrated me on days of the countries where he lived otherwise he would have forgotten. I personally don’t care about the date, when somebody wants to celebrate me, he is very welcome, even everyday, lol !

    My dear lifecruiser….wow. You are so awesome! The castle is amazing. I did a meme and tagged you in it. If you don’t want to do it no big deal…but please do me a favor and go check out my post because I mention how important you have become to me in it. I really admire you Lifecruiser. I really do. And you have taught me more about blogging than you will ever know. And you helped me in ways you will never know. Someday I hope you can give me your email so I can talk to you about this book I’m working on! Your greatest admirer……Ev Nucci

    Dear Ev:
    Simple little me? Admiring? Now you make me blush! I’m just being me. OK, a bit (totally) crazy, butt still me.

    Are you sure you don’t mix me up with somebody else here? *giggles*

    O, and I’m probably just like you….

    Butt you do make me curious and somehow, I suspect that’s just what you wanted :-)

    Oh, and BTW: even if you get this as an email, the email address is available under my contact page too. So, go ahead, shoot me some emails!

    *smiling big*
