None of Us Seeded or Planted These Purple Flowers

 My late mother's favorite color was purple, and she was very fond of wearing purple clothes. The last conversation I had with the first born of my sisters (occurring quite a few years ago, shortly before she died) was one involving the paranormal and a purple flower. I asked my sister whether she had ever experienced something paranormal or something she could not explain. She told me she had some experience involving a purple flower she could not explain. It seems that after my mother's death there were some purple flowers that had appeared  unexpectedly in my sister's garden, and a purple flower that had survived way longer than expected. I cannot recall precisely all the details, but I remember my sister saying that a purple flower from her garden had survived for years in her refrigerator. My sister seemed to think that such things may have been some supernatural or paranormal sign related to my mother.

On June 1, 2022 I had the 67th dream I have had of my mother since mid-November 2020, when I started recording my dreams.  (By now I have had 167 dreams of her.) The dream was a realistic one. In the dream I was in a store, talking to some woman named Yolande. In the dream, after pointing to some Christmas decorations, I accurately described my mother's Christmas decoration habits, which were to fill the house with Christmas decorations during the time from Thanksgiving to New Year's Day.  How very strange that the name "Yolande" should appear in my dream. Prior to the dream, I had (as best I can recall) never spoken that name, and could not identify anyone (fictional or real) who had that name. Not knowing what the name meant, I looked up the meaning of the name Yolande, and found that it is a name meaning "violet flower."  

I thought it strange that again we should have an association between my mother and purple flowers. On July 11, 2022 I had another dream about my mother. I dreamed that I found unlocked both the front door and front gate of the house where I now live. In the dream I looked around and found my mother kneeling in the back yard, as if she was gardening. Remembering the previous association with purple flowers and my mother, I made in my mind around that time a prediction. I predicted that purple flowers would mysteriously appear in my back yard, even though no one had planted any flowers in the back yard. 

Purple flowers did mysteriously start growing in my back yard, which is all concrete, except for two planters on one side. In 2022 the flowers started to appear on the left edge of the back yard. You can see photos of the flowers in my post here from 2022 and my post here from 2025. It was an astonishing affair of purple flowers kind of "rising up through the little concrete crack." 

This year I see no such purple flowers on the left edge of my concrete back yard. But the two planters on the right side of the yard are now entirely filled with little purple flowers -- purple flowers that arose mysteriously, and were not  planted or seeded by any of the house's residents.  We see some of the flowers below.  The planters have a total area of about 12 square feet. 

I can imagine how unplanted purple flowers might naturally arise in the soil of someone's backyard. Maybe somehow purple flower seeds might get blown by the wind, across the yard, from somewhere else. But in this case we have two planter surfaces that are about a meter above the ground. It would seem very, very difficult for purple flower seeds to rise up so high and land in both of two separated planters. 

Below from my previous posts are some of the purple flowers that I got in previous years in my back yard. None of them were planted or seeded by any of the house's residents. In the first photo we see an amaranth plant. Since ancient times the amaranth plant has been a symbol of immortality. This symbolism arose because the plant was famous for maintaining a vibrant color for very long after it had been cut from the ground.
