Say it with flowers
In planning a flower arrangement for my father's memorial service this week I have been thinking of the traditional meaning of some flowers. Here are a few from my garden (pictures from previous seasons) and their meanings.
Amaryllis: Pastoral Poetry, Pride
Azalea: Fragile and ephemeral passion
Begonia: "Beware, I am fanciful!"
Chrysanthemum: You are a wonderful friend
Coreopsis: You are always cheerful
Look for more meaningful flower posts in the future!

I'm sorry to hear of your loss. Those are all beautiful choices and I'm sure it will be beautiful.
I am very sad for your family on the loss of your father. You are very blessed to have a close and loving family.
In my garden are pansies (actually violas) for thoughts, and rosemary for remembrance.
Dear Ginny,
This is a time of great sorrow for you. The flowers, along with their names, bring both the bitter and the sweet...
May you find comfort during this sad and difficult time.
Jan
