Another love.


Beautiful shots Wendy.

In the late 1980's one of the guys who worked for me came to my house on a
Friday evening where his wife was also planning to meet us a few minutes
later and we'd all go to dinner. Before she arrived he half jokingly
asked "You wouldn't happen to have a Sterling Silver rose would you?"
They were apparently kind of rare at the time.

I asked him why and he said she'd be wearing an outfit that was about that
color and she'd remarked to him on the phone that it was known as Sterling
Silver. He thought it'd be nice if he could hand it to her when she
arrived.

It just so happened that we had planted a pair of 15 gallon Sterling
Silver plants the previous weekend and they were blooming like crazy. I
went to the backyard and snipped one off and brought it in the house and
handed it to him.

He was flabbergasted. When his wife arrived she was really surprised when
he handed it to her.

It was a nice evening.

Heck of a coincidence too. )
