Pretoria. National Flower of South Africa.
A few years ago, we buried my last grand father. Mom made a speach about how she used to be young, and look up to her parents and grand parents. Now she has no one to look up to.
She (and her brother and sisters) are the next Elders of the Family.
Siblings and cousins then realised that WE (early to late 20s) are the next generation to be planning funerals, and will have to import these flowers to make mom happy in the future.
Hopefully that day is still 10-20 years in the future, but it is still on the radar of "someday, I will be calling around for these flowers"
