Sue Garman’s exotic Lilies in a vase are a fragrant and lovely way to begin the New Year. Lilies have been associated with purity and faith since ancient times. They were also very popular with the Victorians, who grew them in elaborate glass greenhouses. The exotic flowers also served as a focal point in many of the paintings by Diego Rivera and Georgia O’Keefe. Join us as we begin this journey with a flower that is sure please. | | | | |  | February 1, 2008

This month Sue charms us with crazy daisies that you won’t find in any garden, but are sure to perk you up. Daisies are happy flowers that derive their name from the Anglo Saxon dea eage or, day’s eye, due to their opening and closing with the sun. They have long been favored for their health and medicinal properties. King Henry VIII dined on dishes of the flower to relieve stomach-ulcer pain. Crushed daisies, mixed with oil, were used by the Assyrian to return gray hair dark again. Now who wouldn’t be cheered up by a vase full of crazy daisies? | | | | |  | March 1, 2008

A large handled basket with cheery red roses is Sue’s gift to you this month. The rose, queen of all flowers, dates back 200 million years. Persian legend has it that the nightingale fell in love with a white rose. As the bird flew to embrace the flower its breast was pierced by the thorns. From the drops of blood that fell to the earth grew the first deep crimson rose. But don’t worry Sue’s red roses will not prick your finger. So gather your supplies together and fill your own basket with these ancient of blossoms. | | | | |  | April 1, 2008

THIS SEGEMENT | Block 5:
After a long winter it is so astounding to see the first flowers of spring popping their heads out of the dark. Daffodils, or Narcissus in Latin, are called the flower of spring. And we know that warm sunny days are soon to follow when these cheery flowers begin to show their colorful heads.
Greek mythology tells the story of a handsome young man that is granted good looks by the Gods. But, of course there is a catch. He will remain handsome forever as long as he never looks at his own reflection. As the story goes Echo, a wood nymph, falls in love with Narcissus. But her love is rejected. In her grief, she begins to cry and soon all that remains is her voice. The Gods learn of this and are angry with Narcissus. Narcissus is tricked by the God Nemesis to walk by a beautiful glistening lake. Unable to resist looking at his handsome face, the prophecy comes true, and he fades away. In his place grows the golden flower known as Narcissus.
This month Sue brings you a beautiful urn filled with scarlet Daffodils. What a delightful was to way to continue on towards summer. | | | | |
