This post started from being sick and these lovely Madame Butterfly Snapdragons!
I told myself I was going to have fresh flowers in my bedroom and bathroom this 2026 growing season so I can enjoy the beauty of all my hard work. But I haven’t done a very good job of sticking to it.
This week I have been fighting a cold so working the field was really hard. I would sleep when I wasn’t coughing then outside I would go to harvest an abundance of beautiful flowers. Flowers I would be so excited to have any other time but this week was hard!
So I brought these snapdragons inside so I could enjoy their sweet fragrance and beauty. What I didn’t expect was each time I would see them I would smile and feel so much joy. Forgetting about my cough, lack of sleep or all the work I still needed to get done. I just enjoyed them in the moment when I needed them most.
This is what flowers do for us! Flowers celebrate life, death, weddings, just because, I love you, I’m sorry you had a hard day, get better soon, graduations, I could go on and on.
But there will always be that one person that will say “ I don’t like flowers, they are just going to die”.
This makes me so sad. I really want to give them a hug and say “I’m sorry they hurt you”
Reality is we are all going to die. So shouldn’t it be the most beautiful, loved and adventurous life we can give each other?
I think YES!
So pick the flowers, plant the seeds,buy the flowers, give someone you love the flowers or even a stranger but most importantly give yourself the flowers!
You deserve a lifetime of love, happiness, joy, and lots of adventures.
Grow Wyld!
