⁴ But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away—for it was very large. ⁵ And entering the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a long white robe sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed.
⁶ But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him. ⁷ But go, tell His disciples—and Peter—that He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, as He said to you.” 
Mark 16:4-7 NKJV

The first time I saw a flower cross in church, I was enchanted by the beauty of the cross, the flowers, and all of us taking a flower up to it, and adding it to the cross on Easter.
We gardeners had all been asked to bring flowers from home, so that made it a true communal project. What a perfect combination of flowers and Jesus, for this Christian gardener.
Happy gardening to all, and Happy Easter too.
