Q & L Challenge - Flower

Our two words this time round on The Craft Barn's Quotes and Lyrics challenge are Flower and/or Travel. I went for Flower to use on my altered beer mat and used some very old K & Co. bp that I've had for many years. It's really nice to be able to use up old stash on this challenge! The quote is by Gerard De Nerval. I am afraid it is the same quote as one of the DT used, but I never look at those or any entrants until after I have made my piece, so no copying is involved!
