Aren't they just beautiful? It is impossible to not think of my mom as I look at these flowers.

Mom's memorial garden...
Around the time I knew that my mom was passing, I read about an idea for the funeral that I thought was special. Seed packets. The purpose of the packets is to remember your loved one and reflect on their beautiful lives as the flowers bloom the next year. I ended up with a lot of seeds left over and found them late spring of this year. Since we didn't have anything planted on the side of the house (due to my planting, taking out, planting and taking out problem), I decided to scatter these seed packets on the side of the house. I have been diligent about watering and caring for the tiny seedlings. All of my hard work payed off. Last week, I found my first flower. It just so happened to be a blue "Forget me Not" (how appropriate eh?). Here are some of the other flowers coming out...
