Sunflower

The sunflower. My younger brother would grow them in the backyard and just delight in how tall they'd get! When he passed, I tried to carry the same tradition. I can't grow them at my apartment, but every time I see one, I think of him and smile. pic.twitter.com/w1JSJ0BYNT

Daffodils and Lilacs

Daffodils and lilacs. Daffodils bc they remind me of my grandmother. She planted some on my parents' farm 40 years ago and they are still thriving. Lilacs bc we had several bushes on the farm when I was little and they remind me of the thoughtless joy of childhood summers. pic.twitter.com/nbhioHO8K7

Do nettles count or are plants not considered flowers? Not sure. I do like nettles though. pic.twitter.com/k1jx6dkNgR

Unknown, but a great memory.

Sadly, I don't know the name of the tree but they look something like this. In the wind the petals fall off the tree and drift in the breeze, they have a gentle sweet smell almost like a type of tea. I could sit on that bench in the shade for hours when these things are in bloom. pic.twitter.com/cFx3oHfryd

Prairie Fire

I saw these driving through Oklahoma, and found they also go by Prairie Fire if it helps! Learning that they are hemiparasitic on the grasses was super interesting, and they're gorgeous!
