The story behind this image

This pretty blue flower has a special meaning for me. Again, I don't know what it's called, but my parents, when they were alive, had planted lots of these along the path leading to the garden that they had made together during their final years.

Shortly after they died I took some of these flowers and replanted them in my garden as a kind of living memorial, and every time they flower I'm reminded of my parents and their garden.

It's funny how such a small thing can bring back such powerful memories.
