For my great friend and late FIL Abraham...............

| Wowza, so Splendid! Hey, I'm sure your beloved niece thinks of you as a Father dear to her heart. Plus Kitty and the PomPoms/Starina will be wishing YOU a marvelous and Happy Father's Day too! Fur babies do a great job giving us lots o' joy and well wishes! Abraham D'Arby is Breathtakingly Beautiful, with such perfection- how I love those Peaches and Apricots and every bloom SPELLS SPECIALNESS to me! Royal Gold is sooo lemony! Jim is always saying how he stays away from yellow because they fade, but I cannot imagine yours Ever Fading! That yellow is sooo intense! and I love its Hybrid Tea-like shape. For me it's either Hybrid Tea coils or the OGR looseness that I drool endlessly over. Midnight Blue is once again, looking soooo pretty, much prettier than other Midnight Blues I've seen elsewhere. And oh, I've missed Coppertina to a tee! I'm crazy about that shade of pink in its buds! Gotta get me some more servings of Summer Sorbet to refresh me too, lol! Gorgeous, Boxo!!!! |

| Boxo, Abe is smiling in Heaven seeing these and SO ARE WE! Soooo beautiful, Beee-oooo-to a Happy Tear (full). I should be absolutely speechless for words :D So I will enjoy the silence and the Awe now! |

| Just in time (the pics and bouquet) because it has rained nonstop ever since and any bloom that is full and can hold water is bent over. I was going to go today and decided to wait till tomorrow now. |

| So brilliantly brought, Boxo! I love how the Coppertina adds that extra flow to the bouquet. And oh, the peony and the clustering of Peonies truly "sparkle". No rain can ever dampen their Absolute Beauty! |
