Wild is the mother of every hybrid in our gardens

My tribute to Mother's Day...

Happy mother's day, everyone! If you're a mom, wishing you many more! If you're spending it with mom, enjoy your time with her! Here's a little wildflower bouquet to start you on your way. It's lovelier large, if you have the time!

If you missed it, the info on the mirror series challenge is here... http://365project.org/marlboromaam/challenges-and/2012-05-12

We used to sing in primary school - 'Daisies are our silver; buttercups our gold. This is all the treasure we shall ever hold.' (Victorian values, obviously!) But the wild flowers are indeed our treasures.

@marlboromaam I just tried shooting photos in our backyard with my mirror. Instead of a nice warm day it turned into a very windy and cold day. Trying to figure out where to put my mirror that has a border on it. Oh, I will e-mail my first photos to you to see once I load them on my computer, which will be right now.
