Communicating

I took this photo yesterday at my backyard. This is a plant that was given to me by an old man. He was an eager listener of the community radio programs that I used to deliver. He gave me feedback; lent me a book actually, advicing of a certain Finnish dialect. I went to visit him once with my family. He had a beautiful, big garden. He had made tiling an art form around the self-made pool and the paths around the garden. He gave me plants as I had next to nothing growing on my yard. I have been given a lot of the plants that grow on my yard. I remember the people through the plants. I wonder if the old man is still around. The plant is thriving. It seems to multiply now more than ever.
