I grew up with this...the Flame lily (Gloriosa superba). A rare and beautiful flower found in the shaded, remote forest areas of Africa.

Lately all I've been dreaming of is home. I have dreams where I can't board the flight, where I can't leave the apartment and where I miss the flight.

Six years overseas. I want to go home and smell the wattle.

"How did this come here,... I didn't plant it" is the first reaction when a 'weed' is spotted.

they are always too dominant with the ability to reseed themselves. What is a weed??? any undesired, uncultivated plant that grows out of place and competes with other plants for water, nutrients and space is a weed.

yes, weeds can be pretty sometimes, but not always.

It's a thistle, is it not?

those tiny fragrant violets (actually hard to find it seems...mostly you find the non-fragrent, larger violas) for the smell, but for looks, wild crocuses.

When I lived in Victoria (BC) my house was right next to a patch of wild Garry Oak meadow...come February, the ground would be literally carpeted with small low-growing crocuses in white, yellows and purples. It was truly enchanting.

Sampaguita. Kids used to sell them as garlands when I was growing up. They're so small and smell so delicate, you would think that children, with their small and precious hands, would be the only ones capable of stringing them together. People would hang them from their rearview mirrors and make their cars smell so fragrant that you would have to enjoy a ride if one of these were present in the vehicle. Sometimes Jasmine reminds me of the smell and of home. Sometimes Jasmine doesn't come close enough.

Say it with flowers - give her a triffid.
