Labor because I have 25 layers of flowers that I had to select, erase around, arrange, etc., but they are all flowers with special meaning to me so I loved doing it. Only one grows in our yard - the lily of the valley. This is my Valentine Day offering to all of you and especially to my dearest husband! "I carry your heart with me I carry it in my heart I am never without it Anywhere I go, you go my dear." e. e. cummings

Everything about your post Hilda is wonderful - it's beautiful and we know how hard you worked to include flowers meaningful to you which makes them meaningful to us - I'm sure especially to your husband. Thank you for this and helping me to vicariously experience what a magical Valentine's Day should be like. ~Mary~

I can not imageine a more beautiful Valentine image than his Hilda. Each flower is beautiful. The Lily of The Vallley especially so.It was my mother's favorite flower so I grow them in my garden now to remind me of her.
Best wishes to you and your husband for a wonderful Valentines Day :)

It's a patchwork of flowers and every bit of love you've put into it shines through. This is my favourite of all the hearts you've put up so far, the colours are positively sparkling they're so vibrant.

Absolutely wonderful job, Hilda! The effort you put into this is amazing and I guess you have a point about love being the ultimate motivator. Works for me!
