Happy Mother's Day!
Today (10 May 2020) is Mother's Day in Flanders, although there are different dates for the celebration even in that small a part of a country: in Antwerp mothers are celebrated on 15 August.
In the UK 'Mothering Sunday' was on 22 March.
Comments from other parts of the world welcome!
I chose these old-fashioned flowers for today's photo, because I particularly like their heavy vanilla fragrance, and their beautiful colour. They came from my mother-in-law's garden and she called them "stoveliers". I've found the name "Stoffelier", official name "Muurbloem" (literally 'Wallflower', because they grow on walls in the wild). Latin name: Erysimum cheiri (L.) Crantz [Cheiranthus cheiri L.]
