Valentine’s day reminds me of my maternal grandmother and her love of flowers. She always said don’t give me flowers when I can’t see them. Bring me my flowers while I’m still alive. 1800Flowers.com is an excellent way to send flowers. I used them when both my grandma’s were still alive. My maternal Grandma loved roses, and she enjoyed having fresh roses on display.

A lot, of that, had to do with her name being Rose. She was my living rose for 87 years. My favorite flowers are carnations of any color. It’s a flower of my youth and this red roses and pink carnations surrounded baby breaths from 1800Flowers.com is a combination of two flowers that bring me great joy.

Fresh Flowers are my favorite gift because they can last much longer than the day. Yes! Trust me it is so. You can preserve them in so many ways. I’ve made potpourri, dried petals and made bookmarks. There are so many ways to preserve flowers and keep them along with other memories. I sometimes like to keep petals. I do this by pressing them between two books. Sometimes I leave them in the book as a way to remember the special moment I received the flowers.

Valentine’s day is a great day to send flowers to anyone you desire. Don’t forget about your grandmothers because they truly are the reason you are here today. Without my grandmothers, I’d be a different person. Their wisdom has lived for generations. And remember no one can see flowers placed on a memorial site give them their flowers while they can still enjoy them.
