Where the Sweet Pea should always be present at weddings, it is the one occasion on which the Narcissus is the inappropriate choice. The narcissus may bring vanity upon the bride thence unhappiness. Again I refer to The Meaning of Flowers.
Short post today but wanted to include some spring flowers before summer. After all, this is Vermont!!
Interesting fact about the Tulip bulb- during World War II, when the Dutch were starving under German occupation, Tulip bulbs became high priced because they had become a life-saving food. In the seventeenth century, they were considered a delicacy when boiled and eaten with butter. What a great little book. My sister gave it to me.
Enjoy the spring flowers -
