Forty-five-year-old Flora New is surrounded by the sights, sounds, and smells of her youth as she moves back to her childhood home in Asheville, North Carolina, from Seattle, Washington. She deeply misses her mother, who died two years ago, but after restoring the aged Victorian home, Flora reads her mothers old gardening journals and brings her beautiful garden back to life.Through her mothers journals, Flora learns about the values she and her flowers need to grow. Along with nurturing herself, she nurtures them. By coincidence or design, each time Flora plants a new flower, a new friend enters her life. Its as if the flowers come alive and exhibit their own unique personalities. The seeds cultivate a diversity of friendships. Gloria Morning Glory Moran, Lavenia Lavender Labelle, Rosa Rose Wasserman, DeCynthia Bleeding Heart Hart, Lily Lily of the Valley White, and Holly Hollyhock Alexander become an integral part of Floras life.This short story and gardening journal demonstrates that gardening is one of lifes metaphors. Seeds are planted, they bloom, they are nurtured, and they die, only to start again, creating a beautiful work of art and friendships to be enjoyed.
