Her parents&#8217; flowers are in the family of  <em>Gardenia Jasminoides<\/em>  [thanks again Nicole for teaching her this lesson].  Brittany&#8217;s flower is a  <em>Rhododendron canadense<\/em> while Fred&#8217;s is a <em>Petunias<\/em> [to be on the safe side, Bambi asked them about these names. No, she did not become savvy with flowers all of a sudden : )]. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the shared pictures, this brief post will end with Dalida&#8217;s &#8220;<em>Le temps des fleurs<\/em>&#8221; [<em>Flowers Times<\/em>] performed by a Lebanese singer called Ms. Carla Haddad. Bambi is happy to discover her. She sings in a &#8220;floral&#8221; fusion of the French, English, and Arabic languages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Flower_papa1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25655\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Flower_papa1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Flower_papa1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Flower_papa1.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption>The balcony of Bambi&#8217;s parents in Beirut, Lebanon.
