Silk Flower Memorial

This silk flower was found entwined around the frame and slats of a bench on a river bank in the Fraser Valley of British Columbia, Canada. This is a common finding where family members of a deceased person will go to a favourite sitting place of their loved one and leave a memorial flower there in their honour. Sometimes real flowers are left, sometimes silk flowers. The silk ones last a little longer.
