My mother knows the names of flowers.
Granny's Bonnet, Policeman's Helmet, Lady's Slipper
Old Man's Beard, Ragged Robin, Touch-Me-Not
Sweet William, Herb Robert, Corn Cockle
Eyebright, Self-Heal, Feverfew
Harebell, Larkspur, Bird's Foot Trefoil
And she knows where the wild orchids grow.

ahh, aren't mother's such garden geniuses?
does this happen immediately on one giving birth?
Mothers know everything, don't they! I'm not lucky enough to be a mother myself...so does this mean I won't ever know everything?! LOL! Beautiful flowers, and fun with all the names. WIshing you & yours a great weekend! :o)
Tracy,
If only it was true that mothers know everything. My children often point out to me that I know 'nuffin'!
Oh my, how beautiful. we once had an experiment in turning our garden into a meadow and filling it with wildflowers. It was beautiful and full of wildlife - but not terribly practical in a garden with limited space so we cut the grass again and contented ourselves with just daisies and speedwell and clover.
