Irene Virag's Garden Party

I'm Irene Virag -- a writer, a gardener, a cancer survivor. I think ideas are like plants. They need nurturing to grow. And gardeners share both. So welcome to my blog. It’s all about what’s happening in my garden and beyond.

I wish I could send you an English translation, only if I had one. It described a woman's love for her flowers. She used to greet everyone she met by presenting them with a flower.

While visiting in neighbour's residence way back in the early 1920's she used to first ask the gardener as to, how were his plants?

....

Her dying words were '.....'.

I can't remember, and I don't want to misquote the text either.

I leave it to you...give it a take. What could've it been?

Redbuds are blooming in the forest and in landscapes, and the magnolias (stellata and saucer) and cherries are just past peak. February was extremely cold, so I didn't see any snowdrops, which burst on the scene late in the first week of March, and have all gone by already. It got too hot, too soon -- we had several days of 80 degree temps last week, and it was in the 70s the rest of the time.; 4/02/2007 5:18 PM
