SAM-Saturday - Flower power
Few weeks ago, @bluemoon initiated a great challenge, Something About Me, #sam-saturday. This was an amazing idea as we started to learn many things about the people we used to associate with an alias. Now, these steemians became known to us via their hobbies, life experience and the other things they shared with us so far.
So far I told you about my favourite color, why roxy-cat instead of a different nickname and what music genre makes my heart tremble.
What else would you like to know about me? Feel free to ask and I will tell you.
Until then, I will share with you my love for flowers and some nice digital edits I made this week.
In Romania we have a custom. When a child is turning one year old, the parents and the godparents will bring a plate in front of the birthday boy (or girl). On this plate you can see different items like silver coins, mirror, perfume, jewelry, money, pen, book etc. It is said if the child will pick the pen, he or she will very likely become a writer. If they pick the money, the kid will be rich. And so on... You got the idea.
When my parents celebrated my one year birthday, I picked a flower despite the family's coaching. 😂 They were hoping I would become a rich girl (life was tough back then) or, at least, a well known scholar (the book was my second choice). Nothing could be done to make me pick the shinny coins because I love flowers since...forever. 🙂
The flowers come in so many shapes and colors, and so many sweet or spicy scents. Being the perfect gift for centuries, flowers are the perfect messengers of lovers. There is nothing you couldn't say with the help of flowers as they symbolise so many things.
My favourite flowers: all of them with a slight preference towards the spring blossoms (hyacinth, daffodils, lily of the valley) and white roses. My bridal bouquet was made of hundreds of lilies of the valley while the cake was decorated with white and turquoise roses. Obviously, the groom had nothing to say about it since I made him the happiest man on Earth. I know he would have loved a guitar shaped cake but life is hard, cope with it. 😂
Loving the flowers so much, the next step was the gardening. Planting, pruning, trimming are my favourite activities during three seasons of the year. Even during the winter I experiment. It looks like it's the best time for planting avocado.
Now, which edit do you like? I like the rose (what a surprise, right?). Looking forward for others posts and things they want to share about them.
Check out the challenge started by me and @erikah, SeasonChallenge. We would love to learn about your impressions towards the Fall (these being the theme until 1st of December).

Your Husband is a lucky man and why wouldn't it be the rose after reading your beautiful story but if there was a cat there you would of pick that right :)
You know me so well.
Thank you for the nice comment and the feedback. 🙂
You are so welcome.....It's a nice way to be and don't change for no one :)
I'm too old to change now. 🙂
Thank you again. You made me blush. 😊
Never to old but don't change :)
Love the edits. Thanks for sharing- flower 🌺 a great choice.
Thank you, my dear. Much appreciated. 💐

Je ne comprends pas ...
Oh...I'm sorry I don't know how I do that, it seems that I encrypted my message but it was by error, so I don't know how...LoL
my message was :
I don't know why this message got encrypted...
Who know? Maybe one of thw codes you used had some character missing...it looks like one of the IT mysteries.
Thank you for the positive comment. Much appreciated.
I don't believe this traditon has too much relevance. Indeed, I love flowers but I also enjoy science. I like gardening and reading but I'm also good at maths. So, I guess it's more for the parents fun. 🙂
And yes, I had turquoise sugar roses. And a turquoise sash, and turquoise bouquet ribbons. I love turquoise...I don't agree with genetic breeding when it comes of animals but I will not refuse a turquoise cat. 😂
HaHa, maybe one day you will meet a turquoise cat indeed ! ^_^
I have found how Luigi did encrypt his message : he incidentally tick the small box below the comment on esteem surfer where it's writen encrypt ... ;-)
On the esteem mobile I don't have this option. Or I don't see it. I believe we should give Luigi a smartphone. 😂
A new revelation, you like flowers! I'm so happy for your participation, for your revelations. Colors, cats, music ... flowers! I wonder what next week will be, would there seem to be a little lack of inspiration if you ask us to ask you? I see you have a new passion, digital art, however, turning a photo into something that looks like a picture is interesting and weird. The first photo, pansel, is gorgeous and looks exactly like a watercolor.
Thank you, you have introduced very beautiful stories both from the one year ceremony and from the wedding. Both think were very special events!
Next week... I have some subjects in mind. I thought it would be a great idea to ask your friends about them. For instance, I would love to know how did Dan started to take photos. What inspired him to choose this form of art. 🙂
The digital art is a very nice form of art. Some of us cannot draw or paint and digital enhancements are a good way to express ourselves. Plus, post processing of photos is a very important step. And this would be digital work without applying fancy filters. 🙂
I admit, a very good idea. I really wanted to ask a question. More prosaic. A culinary passion? If you like to cook (not from the position of wife and mother, not from the obligation ... if you like).
I'll think about your suggestion. Thank you.
Hmm... I like to cook but I prefer not to poison the dear ones. 😂
I'm good at baking though. I might write something about this but I'm waiting for a special ocasion so I could take some photos. This is a good suggestion, thank you my friend.
Very nice that you don't want to poison your loved ones. I don't think you can succeed but I appreciate modesty.
It was not a good suggestion my sugestion but it was yours. Thank you, I might use it next week.
I'm glad I coyld help. Looking forward to the next week edition. It will be an interesting one, I bet. 🙂
Thanks again! I think it will be.
I love the pansy. This is a great idea that I am very glad to be a part of. My post is started. I have Abbi up in her chair for a moment. And little time between doing things with her. Love your Flowers. The money comes and goes but flowers can and will be around, no matter what season it is.
Love
Thank you for your lovely comment. Abbi is a cutie. I know the struggles of a mother but it's worth while.
What are her favourite flowers?
Looking forward to your post. 😘
Hard for me to say what her favorite flower is. I think she likes the piony.
Love
Love those edits and you would not be surprised if I choose the last red one. :-)
Indeed, I'm not surprised. 🙂 From a rose lover to another, I like the last edit too.
Thank you for your nice comment.
