You can learn more about the significance of the blue flower as a symbol in my "About" section.
You also can follow The Blue Flower on Twitter and Instagram and join our group on Facebook using the social media icons in the menu. I am seeking guest submissions of poetry, photography, art, and essays. I’d love to hear from you! Please reach out!
