I really liked the way you explored pansies from different angles—art, food and personal memories. The wood sculptor caught my attention, and reading your mom’s thoughts was touching.

Glad you enjoyed it! The sculptor’s work stayed with me too, something about the way wood holds a bloom’s shape. 🪵 🌸 And my mom—she loves a flower with meaning. 💜
