Have you ever tried to talk to flowers? If u havent u must… they have this lovely language… language of happiness. U cant be around flowers and feel sad for long. They have a magic around them. A true magic. I often do talk to them specially when I am feeling a little low.
Be it in your garden or a single flower kept in the corner of the room its sure to cheer one up… The regulars on this blog know how much I love flowers. So when I saw that The Key Bunch (a brilliant blog BTW) is a hosting a september party on say it with flowers I had to contribute 😀
Pokkalam I made for Ganesh Chaturthi at the entrance of my house
And these are the pooja flowers recycled…. put in a glass bowl with water.
PS: U might want to check out my previous flower posts…couldnt resist putting a list of some of my favorite flowers posts here 😀 😀

I love the language of flowers too, Mon! Flowers and plants in general. Just love the feel of greenery, the spurt of blossoms. Any time I feel low, a bunch of flowers is more than enough to perk me up 🙂
Love your pookalam and the flower arrangement. Such a lovely shade of purple.
same smiths… i love love love greenery
Beautiful arrangements Mon… I love the freshness and fragrance of some flowers… jasmine is one flower am totally against.. not allergic, just cant stand it…
i too think its a tad over rated by the way I think the same of rose too but I use jasmine for the touch of white I need usually
Lovely, Monika! I agree about the magic of flowers. In fact, I wrote a young adult novel about the language of flowers coming magically to life. It’s called Forget-Her-Nots and is published in the US by HarperCollins. You might check it out.
