My mother was an avid and gifted gardener. Her gardening was a perfect balance of her dichotomy of a need for control and her odd ability to let things simply be as they are. In an old pan passed to me from her, I have inserted essential elements from her flower gardens: clustered roses, tulips lining a path, strawberries in a pot, a lone sunflower, and vines of wisteria.
