Close to our apartment (in Vancouver, beautiful British Columbia, Canada) is a bronze statue by J. Seward Jr. Johnson of a lady sitting on a bench entitled "search" It is a remarkable statue. What makes it even more remarkable is that it is quite rare to see her without fresh flowers. Something about the lady searching her purse inspires passersby to leave her fresh flowers.

Speaking of leaving fresh flowers. Have you heard of The Lonely Bouquet ? It all started when Emily Avenson relocated to Belguim from California. As a way of brightening a strangers day Emily leaves a bouquet of fresh flowers, arranged in a jar, in public places with a tag inviting you to take the flowers home. Sunday, June 30, 2013 will be International Lonely Bouquet Day. Why not join Emily in leaving a fresh bouquet of flowers somewhere and spread the love of flowers?

How about you?
