Hardy & Persistent & Colorful

I was amazed, when walking out my door a couple days ago, by this flash of pinky-purple in the corner of my yard. Probably just a candy wrapper, I thought, blown down the street by the wind. But no, it was this beautiful heather, in full bloom. I stopped to look, then had to grab my camera, it was so beautiful. Unusual - delicate AND hardy. Those little blossoms look so fragile, but the prickly stems tell a different story. Thriving in the cold, picking up the moods of passers by just by being there, showing a little color in the never ending grey.



Of course this stuff grows like crazy during the winter here too. And though green is my favorite color, and this looks so soft and beautiful, it's everywhere.



Of course, nothing is as colorful as this.

What Kind of flower are you?

I KNEW there was an actual quiz you could take to find out this very important information.

I found this quiz, along with some pictures of my friend Claire's beautiful family here. Claire used to live across the street from me in North Hollywood, and now she's slummin' in Sherman Oaks.

All this time I thought I was a stripedy rose. But I'm not. I'm a Sunflower. Except when I have PMS. Then watch out

Take the test. What are you?

I am a Sunflower What Flower Are You?
