Roots

 

This flower reminds me of my roots.


I don't know its name but to me it's called "Nostalgia" because it conjures up memories of my childhood.


I often used to play among flowers like this one after school with my best friend.

Hi! I'm Alice Schroers and I love flowers. My appreciation of flowers first began just under a decade ago when I saw my first shrimp plant.

What a fun flower! I hope you'll enjoy this blog as I use it to remember to enjoy the small things.

As I rounded the corner to leave the display I found a very cute sign which read "Please wait to be planted". It was for visitors to the restaurant, but today it felt like a very apt moment as I'm between locations, waiting to be planted, just like the potted plants around the front counter.

I think this is a type of wattle, but for the moment I'm just going to put it out there that I love this little flower because of its cute fluffy pompoms of yellow happiness!
