One of the minor miracles in Colombia is their flowers. Chances are the flowers that you’ve purchased, for Mother’s Day or Valentine’s, were imported from there! And, it’s not just the remarkable variety, but their art of arrangement that is awe-inspiring.
There is a Zen proverb that suggests that the stranger of flowers also arranges our mind and mood.
Below, are some truly creative arrangements —in the shape of moving waterfalls, graceful women and giant bees— from our day trip to the Botanical Gardens in Medellin, Colombia. I hope that they might brighten your Sunday & uplift your spirits.
This one, above, was actually composed by a family friend who joined us on this outing.
The work of art, below, is my favorite arrangement; and an enlarged, framed picture of it hangs in our patio in Maryland.
Again, I hope you’ve enjoyed this virtual tour & are having a good weekend 🙏🏼
Back at the farm, spending some time with this beauty...
