The wild flowers in Maine that you see everywhere you go are my favorite. But the flocks, bachelor buttons, hollyhocks, brown eyed susans, tiger lillies and lupines are pretty special too. I can see my mom on her hands and knees, humming, in her element. Inside African violets, Christmas catcus always being cared for, dusted, watered, fed Miracle Grow too.
The visual of new Maine flowers is special eye candy. But the way freshly cut flowers fill a Maine room, sitting pretty on the center of a table entertaining all filling that area with sweet smells is intoxicating too. Adds to the day, the event and is so short lived making it even more precious.
Early spring in Maine the tulips, crocus, daffodils are a welcome sight. Especially after the final throws of a Maine winter leave for another 3 seasons change, rotation. We love all four seasons in Maine.
But spring especially is a time of renewal, hope, sunshine with strength and the promise of even more in a Maine summer.
Not everyone is as affectionate about the same season in Maine.
