Please, please, when buying your PINK prom flowers, select a place that donates a percent to the Susan Komen Foundation. I don't mean for this to be a advertisement but this foundation was started in a woman's name, Susan Komen who had breast cancer. The foundation was started by Susan's sister. It was a promise from her to Susan on Susan's last days among us. There are plenty of florist that donate and after all, that's what PINK is about, isn't it?
Keeping in the spirit of things and PINK SATURDAY, I've included some flowers found in my yard. These pictures were found on various sites and are not mine but they are a true representation of what I see here in New England.

Pretty little posies. Thanks for finding the pictures and sharing them today. Have a Happy Pink filled day!
Lovely pink flowers! Your redwork is getting me more and more intrigued! I so wish I had more time to craft, maybe I should just make time.
I will post some pink flowers for you soon.
Beautiful natives! I love wild geraniums and lady slipper is another. Gorgeous.
Awesome flowers!! Makes me want to go on a garden tour like right now! I think it a good thing to buy where they donate to the foundation. A very good post saying so too!
No matter what I am buying, I would much rather buy it from a seller that donates to good causes and I did not know about the flowers so will keep that in mind. Thanks for the infor.
Happy Pink Day! Sure lots of pretty in Pink Flowers in New England area! Beautiful day to split wood. NOT...

Wonderful post for this l♥vely Pink Saturday. This is one morning of the week that I sit back, stroll from blog to blog and indulge myself surrounded by my favorite color.
I wish you a blessed weekend filled with sunshine and surrounded by those you l♥ve.
I was unaware that some florists donate to the Susan Komen charity. Thanks for making us all aware of that-it's a great cause. Beauatiful pictures!
All the flowers are so beautiful. Have a wonderful PINK day! Julie
