Our World Tuesday: Flowers, Finally

 After a long winter and a spring that has come and gone back to winter in fits and starts, the flowers are finally having the last word.  Even last year's grocery store tulips are making a showing for themselves.
 Then there are the pansies that faced near-freezing tempertures a few nights last week.  Here they are doing what comes naturally.
 Our back, the myrtle made its way through a heavy coat of winter debris.
On Mother's Day, this hibiscus from my sister promised summer with no looking back!  Amen.
