Have you ever wondered how a flower earns her name ?
Sometimes I stare at a bloom and wonder about the hands and hearts that named it- or how wacky the story maybe (hello corncockle).
Was it after a botanist, a poet, a place, or a memory too sweet to keep quiet?
There’s a kind of magic in a name—and the stories they might hold.
And maybe that’s the thing about flowers… they make us wonder.
And that wonder brings us back to beauty, again and again.
Sweet pea “Nimbus” sounds more like a cloud with a latte order.
But here she is—frilly, moody, and stealing the season, while swooping me into her mystery.
🌸Let me know… What’s a flower name you’ve always loved—or one you’ve always wondered about?
