Ye Gods! The very
last sort of photo I'd have expected to take today (but this thread is fun .. it leads you around where you might not have gotten led otherwise, yes

?). Anyway ...
Following on the flower -- this is an ancient picture in my living room of my mother, of all people. Likely pre WWII? Her given name was (I'm not kidding, either) 'Rosie Mae'. But some of her later friends referred to her as *Rose*.
