Flowers in My Mother's Winter Garden

Aloha Everyone,

January. Even usually temperate climate of Southern California, plants and trees are hibernating until spring. Here are a few flowering trees in my Mother's garden which bring color and beauty.

"Where flowers bloom so does hope."

-- Lady Bird Johnson

"Just imagine becoming the way you used to be as a very young child, before you understood the meaning of any word, before opinions took over your mind. The real you is loving, joyful, and free. The real you is just like a flower, just like the wind, just like the ocean, just like the sun."

--Don Miguel Ruiz

"Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in

And pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul."

--John Muir
