Evolution of a Gardener

When I was a kid
we'd visit my grandparent's farm

I'd ride in the car and listen as my mom and grandma discussed all the plants and flowers along the roadside

What is the name of that flower?  my mom would ask

and I would wonder why anyone would want to talk about something 

so boring

Now grown up, I go and visit my mom and my grandma
and I am the one asking this time

what is the name of that flower?

Maybe some day my children will come visit me
with children of their own

and we will take walks or drive through the countryside

and they will turn to me and ask

what is the name of that flower?
