Oooh, lovely blooms!  We celebrated in February, but we've got Passover (is that the right word? I'm not sure!) holidays, so I'll enjoy them anyways! Wish I could smell the Datura and Gardenia.

It may not be mothers day here but I can still enjoy all your wonderful flowers Glenda. 
I found this poem that seems appropriate for Mothering Sunday.
One Flaw In Women.
(You will see what it is in the end.)
Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
but they hold happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy
and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.
They don't take 'no' for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel
and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about
a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they
think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss
can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you
to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning.
They bring joy, hope and love.
They have the compassion and ideas.
They give moral support to their
family and friends.
Women have vital things to say
and everything to give.
HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,
IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

I was missing my children and wishing I was with them today and your pics came at the perfect time! (We have six "grown" children back in the States.) Thank you for cheering me up!

Thanks so much Glenda. Those are the only flowers I will get today. Grown kids today are very thoughtless (for the most part). Your flowers are beautiful. Thanks for sharing and a very Happy Mothers Day to you and all the mothers out there.
