Instead of rice or birdseed being hurled at Vinomaker and me on our wedding day, we had our guests chuck a handful, or two, of wild flower seeds at us. As a result, we got to enjoy a pretty array of poppies, lupins, and cornflowers the very next spring. They have flowered each spring since then conjuring up happy memories, with their reappearance, of a warm August day spent with family and good friends, all gathered together in our vineyard to celebrate one of life's more pleasant rituals. This year however, I had a bit of a surprise...a pink cornflower.Much like that different clones of grape varietals are actually genetic mutations (albeit with desirable attributes which are then propagated), this pink cornflower apparently decided to spurn convention (along with the protocyanin pigment that makes it blue), and go with a decidedly more feminine look this time around. Cute.
I don't know if she will be back next year but she is very welcome to visit, just as long as she brings with her a bunch of very welcome reminiscences...and smiles.

I think it is for Lbf.
I like that idea, better then wasting rice, especially if it is sushi rice mmmm. Like the picture of the Flower too very cool
Thud: I think so too:)
Weston: No way would I waste sushi rice. I would live on sushi if I could afford to!
Mrs OTW plans to treat you and indulge in sushi at length on next trip.
Ah, that's lovely. It's a cornflower? Is that the same flower as a Bachelor's Button? Very nice story. :)
Yes, also called Bachelors Buttons!
