Summer

Mom's

The passion I have for plants and the environment
is a gift passed down and nurtured by my Father.
This was the first year celebrating Father's Day
without him. Beacons like this Crocosmia 'Lucifer'
in his garden welcome Summer as reminders of him.

Your father has given you a wonderful gift that you will always share with him.
This is a beautiful image of these flowers. I imagine the hummingbirds will
be visiting soon! - Racine

Glorious and vibrant visual memory, Scott. It's amazing how we have the opportunity to "hold" our loved ones again through such visual reminders.
