For Easter this year, I decided to give my mom, my dad, and my sister each a bouquet from our garden. There were about 6-8 flowers in each gift and I wrapped them in quaint brown paper, tied with a pink ribbon. So sweet! The downside was that it was hard to come up with enough flowers to give to all three of them - but in the end, they understood that gardens are limited and it's not easy to create something more dramatic than a little fist of pink petals.
To give you a visual...this is what our garden arrangements look like:
Cute, isn't it?
So you can understand what I must have been thinking when I met my dad for Easter dinner and he showed up bearing slightly larger bouquets for each of us; flowers he also arranged from his own garden.
I'm not saying my flowers look lame or anything. They just look like a two year old in the ring with a heavyweight champion.
Botanical slaughter.
