"For a Painted Daisy every day is a new beginning to start again, to find beauty in small things, like a butterfly caress or a bee kiss." Quote by _Constance I grew up surrounded by bright flowers, my mom had a pretty cottage garden; of vibrant blooms going on all summer, my favorite was the Painted Daisy ! With lovely feathery green fern-like leaves, multi-color petals and gold centers, sparkling in the sun with bright rainbow bursts; rich nectar bringing butterflies and bees ! Imagine ceaseless blooms in pinks and rose, in purples oranges, yellow and white; from one glorious lovely summer plant, sublime in gardens, a vase or as dried ! Oh, divine the steady steam of color, it represents many things for this girl; purity, love, energy, happiness, and joyful, boundless, endless memories !

Your poem allowed me to 'see' and 'feel' such a lovely garden and one of nature's finest flowers. I enjoyed reading what the 'stream of color' represented to the younger you. Reading your words, brought to mind my mother's little garden, filled with irises of all colors. I remember, too, the joy on her face when she planted them. Funny what we remember. I did receive your Soup Mail...will respond by the end of Tuesday evening. Wishing you a pleasant evening, hugs, Sara
