Our Mother Plant

This is the story of my Mother Plant. Two years ago we took a walk for Mother's day and came across this beautiful Thistle. Last year it had 5 buds. Each one represented one of my kids. It was the perfect mother's day gift. Each year it blooms Mother's Day week and the flowers smell so wonderful until they die and the smell goes away.

Here she is with her first bloom.

This is the first of April no buds, but plenty of shoots.

Here she is blooming over and over again.
