Gift of flowers

I usually don't keep fresh flowers around inside the house......not because i don't like them but they need changing and so on and i wouldn't be able to keep up with the task......but this bunch of flowers that bloomed outside last week (and new buds are still coming up) are a real gift. The plant was just a cutting from a friend Mrs Lai several months ago. I stuck the cutting into a pot and it seemed to 'take'. After it grew to a reasonable foot or so, my husband transferred it to the planting shelf just outside the garden wall. And it has flourished.......to give beautiful blossoms.
In the words of the poet Gerard Manley Hopkins, "....for all this (that is, a world that is 'bleared, smeared with toil', nature is never spent; there is the dearest freshness deep down things" All because God the Creator of all is ever creative.
