My Sunday Best with Nancy

I am excited and honored to be partnering with Nancy over at A Rural Journal in presenting "Your Sunday Best" this week.  I have been a fan of Nancy's for almost the whole time I have been in this world of blogging.  She is one of those truly down-to-earth kinda gals that relays that warm country feel to all of her posts, makes you feel that you are sitting at a table in her kitchen having a cup of coffee and just chatting about whatever.  Join us today and every week about this time for "Your Sunday Best".

I just finished reading a wonderful book entitled "The Language of Flowers" by Vanessa Diffenbaugh and along with enjoying the book, I learned that flowers do have a definite language, each meaning something different.

For instance....did you know that pansies mean "think of me".

Or that sunflowers mean "false riches"  Personally I think sunflowers equal happiness, but I didn't write the dictionary.

Geraniums mean "true friendship"

Dahlias are "dignity"

The pink rose means "grace"....each color of roses have different meanings.

And finally the zinnia,  "I mourn your absence"

So the next time you give flowers to a friend, a relative, or a lover you might just want to check the "true meaning" of that flower before presenting.

Please join us this week by linking up your favorite photo for "Your Sunday Best"

Until next time...
