First time I’m seeing the flower above. The itsybitsy flower below reminds me of the Star of David, which was carved everywhere into the synagogue next to Saint Peter’s home, in which Jesus preached.
So, just to say, when’s the last time you brought some flowers to put before a statue of our Lady in your local parish church? No statue, you say? No image of our Lady of Guadalupe? Time for you to do something about that, don’t you think?
You just gotta think that Jesus picked flowers for His dear mother, and ours.
Accompany me, Father George David Byers, S.S.L., S.T.D., as I begin life as a Catholic Priest-Hermit by choice. Holy Souls Hermitage is dedicated to the sanctification of my fellow priests, bishops, deacons & seminarians going through the purgatory of this life or the next. Prayer and sacrifice go up, of course, for both Benedict XVI and the next Successor of Saint Peter. 
At my friend Margot’s assisted living home the Blessed Sacrament is reserved in a tabernacle in a nondescript little room opening off the noisy activity room. As far as Margot and I know, no one ever goes in there (except me and Margot, and the priest when he says Mass in the activity room), though Jesus is there all the time loving everyone. We took a vase of roses and lilies in there this week for Corpus Christi, with a card addressed to Jesus to make clear Who they were for. I really hope no one would dare move them away from the tabernacle out to “where people could enjoy them”.
And I’m sure Jesus is beaming with such a gesture. Totally cool!
Strange how they change plant names; I went to Lowe’s to get a flowering plant for placing at the outdoor shrine on the parish grounds. They had red angelwing begonia baskets. But they were calling them dragonwing begonias. Big change, that!
The first one I had in my back yard in Charlotte. A neighbor referred to it as sweet shrub. I loved the smell of it…
Hello Nadja! I googled that. Here’s the great article I found:
