This came from my step-mom’s funeral in July 2013. It didn’t bloom for nearly four years. It got pot-bound so, when I gave it some space, it bloomed for me. It bloomed this year but, I didn’t catch a shot of it.
If you don’t want to send just flowers, Peace Lilies are a common gift to grieving families…small ivy plants, too. If cared for, don’t die after a few days.
I do, too. I went back to the place where I photographed my “Greens & Whites” post to ask him what it was. He didn’t know, exactly. He had landscapers come in to decorate the outside of the bar. All he knew was that it was some kind of ivy. It’s just gorgeous.
My maternal grandmother had ivy growing around the house. It represents home to me.

It does! I hadn’t thought of that.
I’ve kept this from my stepmom’s funeral from 2013. I’m surprised I haven’t killed it.
