peony-reminds me of my Dad, of my childhood home.I absolutely adore them. I have loads of them at my home now, but oddly it was a blue delphinum that I planted after his passing. And marigolds for my Nana, his Mum-stately and “on purpose”. The smell especially, I used to admire them in her garden.Roses-my Mom universal Love. She was an earth angel but also pansy for her fun spirit. Sunflowers -of my Nana,my mother’s Mom and I don’t really know why. Something ancient and strong about them.

Camilla’s, carnations, baby’s breath, and hydrangeas remind me of my Nan.
Gladiolus, iris and rhododendron remind me of my Mom.

Stocks, salvias, sweet Williams, snapdragons, dahlias, lavender. My parents both gardened together and those were just some of the flowers in this large colourful flowerbed in the front garden. Out the back we’re sweet peas, which were grown for cutting and their scent in the house.

Hi Kami. My mother loved violets. She had them all over the house. I always think of her when I see one. I also catered the wedding of a good friend who wanted calla lillies on her wedding cake, I made them from fondant, but still think of her when I see real ones.

Hi! Love your posts! They give me inspiration and help me in my journey! Irises remind me of my grandmother. Dad loved to paint Camilla’s. Mom loved her daffodils. My Italian grandparents loved herbs and I can smell basil and think of them. Amazing how smells bring back so many memories!!

Lilacs, roses and honeysuckle all remind me of my mother who passed 20 years ago. She always had rose bushes and honeysuckle was one of our favorite Avon scents (okay, not really a flower but still have great memories from that). Maybe honeysuckle is what I’ll plant next!

Every time we moved, my husband would plant a rose bush. At our last move, the dirt was too poor and we were too tired to start over, so he gave me roses for my birthday and Valentine’s Day. He passed away 4 years ago, and our son continues the tradition.

Roses are a big one. My grandma and I had a strained relationship, but the roses… we both found joy in the roses.
Strawberries would be another. The adorable flower then of course the berry.
Lilac is another. It reminds me of my dad. He has passed now. I tried so many times to get a start to grow from the lilacs that he planted before I was born. I wasn’t ever successful. I have a neighbor with beautiful lilacs on the other side of the canal. I get a few weeks of feeling extra close to my dad.
