The first to forget is the happiest.”

Words above are all much better than what I can say, doesn't matter how long I stare at the laptop screen. But to make it up, I shot three pictures yesterday of the flowers in our front yard and let them represent these three great qualities:
1. Fawn Lily, for those who can apologize
It is a native plant in the pacific northwest. The beautiful and graceful white (or yellow) flowers bloom here all April each year, but it's slow growing and can take as long as five years until the first bloom

2. Jake Frost, for those who can forgive
It Also called Siberian bugloss or False Forget-Me-Not, is native to Eastern Europe. I only planted two about 10 years ago, but since then they keep multiplying themselves, so I ended up having hundreds of them in the garden. Moved them around, gave some to neighbours, gave some to friends, and even had a garden sale of them last spring with a $90 profit.

3. Rodo/杜鹃, for those who can forget
I don't think Rodo needs any introduction. This one was from a local University plant sale ~8 years ago. Although the buds look a bit pinky, the flowers will be purely white.
Note: I am the gardener of the house with a good helper for digging. The digger likes the color blue and I like white, so are the most flowers in our front yard.
