India, April 13 -- My mother (who left for heavenly abode in 2023), was an avid fan of flowers, greenery and the mesmerising beauty of mother nature. Watching her, and even otherwise, I developed a similar love ever since my childhood. However, there was, (still is) a major difference. While my mother knew the names, flowering season and many other details about nature, and flora and fauna, I don't. Though I enjoy it, bask in it, inhale it. but that's about it. Apart from the basic school-provided knowledge about roses and sunflowers and lilies and lotuses, etc, I don't fair too well on this front. And, after the passing away of my mother, guests would expect me to fill that role - take them to our garden and talk and share about flowering plants and shrubs of various types. Alas! They were always in for disappointment....
