I got the vase in from the shed \u2018just in case\u2019 I found something suitable.<\/p>\n<p>My son\u2019s girlfriend, Lotta, was here last weekend. He bought her some beautiful red Gerberas.<\/p>\n<p>They went to visit friends who are planning their wedding for later in the year. Gina, the bride, wants to collect and dry flower petals for her confetti. Lotta asked me if I would dry some for her to give to Gina, and could I take the petals from her Gerberas when they had finished. She would have gone home by then.<\/p>\n<p>I duly pulled all the lovely soft velvety red petals off the flower heads and look what I saw.<\/p>\n<p>The disc florets! I put them in the vase and they are now on a bright windowsill, making me smile every time I pass them.<\/p>\n<p>I think of Gina collecting things for her wedding and memories of my own wedding flowers.<br \/>\nI think of Lotta and her much loved Gerberas, and wanting to be part of the wedding plans by collecting petals (now drying in my airing cupboard)<br \/>\nAnd I remembered that Theroux quote\u2026It\u2019s not what you look at that matters, it\u2019s what you see.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you Kat for Photo Heart Connection.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/miriamrogers.co.uk.gridhosted.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/PHC-March-2014.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/miriamrogers.co.uk.gridhosted.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/PHC-March-2014.jpg\" alt=\"PHC March 2014\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1434\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10955\" srcset=\"https:\/\/miriamrogers.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/PHC-March-2014.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/miriamrogers.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/PHC-March-2014-214x300.jpg 214w, https:\/\/miriamrogers.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/PHC-March-2014-731x1024.jpg 731w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kat Sloma hosts a wonderful practice each month called Photo Heart Connection.
