Wednesday Wonders: Italian Heather

The other day I went to Fedex to ship some boxes home.  Right next door at Trader Joe's was a wonderful display of a gorgeous pink plant.  On looking at it further, it turned out to be Italian Heather.  I have never heard of that before.  So pretty and it has a lovely light fragrance. 

A woman who was standing beside me taking in the beauty told me that she knew of a man who had days or weeks left to live according to his doctors.  He asked to be placed in a verdant flower garden.  He stayed there and stayed there and eventually he was cured.  Nice story.  Nice lady to talk with me.
