    So beautiful all over the world. Even desert flowers are beautiful, also beach flowers, rock crevice flowers etc. I guess they are just about everywhere. They say a lot to us.

    Dearest Tammy,

    Knowing what flowers and 'green' means to you, this is a post from your heart! Indeed, flowers are the messengers to people and let's pray that people always will value them! Certain places in this world, there is not much blooming but let's not waste the areas where they do thrive.
    Love to you,

    Mariette

    I produced my own first hibiscus flower the other day, not unlike your Nepalese offering but deeper in colour. I was so proud of its rich beauty - and then it fell off. That's hibiscus for you. Beautiful but brief.

    Love your new background, Tammy. x

    We have everything we need here on earth. Imagine how wonderful it would be if we all saw Earth as our common home to care for. A big Earth family. I love our planet! :)
