Gardenia

This is my foofy for this Friday and also a nod to Mother's Day on Sunday in the US. My mother always had gardenia for her corsages back in the 1940's when dating. She once told me everyone had either camellia or gardenia and she preferred gardenia. She turned 95 last month and lives with me as her caretaker.

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.

Kathy, I already knew that your dear old mother has a good taste when it becomes to flowers. In Holland we have the saying: "De appel valt niet ver van de boom." (literal translation: "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree), if you know what I mean, 😁 !
Wonderful Foofy Friday (F²) contribution!
PS: I wish your mother and you a wonderful Mother's Day on Sunday!

If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins! Please CLICK HERE to see my journal! Feel free to save my images or to add them to your favorites.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
