A GIFT FOR A FRIEND...



Sweet-Scented Lavender Plant
Dressed in a shimmering purple wrap and ribbon, our lavender plant is such a pretty and delightfully fragrant gift. In full bloom, it will spread its sweet scent throughout the room, but even when out of flower, the foliage is wonderfully aromatic! Jackson & Perkins, Garden Inspired Living




Sarah's Flowering Cactus

"What brings joy to the heart is not so much the friend's gift as the friend's love." St. Aelred




SUNFLOWERS FOR A FRIEND - Stephen B. Watley

"Ah, Sun-flower! weary of time,
Who countest the steps of the Sun,
Seeking after that sweet golden clime
Where the traveller's journey is done:

"Where the Youth pined away with desire
And the pale Virgin shrouded in snow
Arise from their graves, and aspire
Where my Sun-flower wishes to go."

~ William Blake, 1757-1827 ~
