Unknown Flower
Today is an important person's birthday. I went to buy flowers after work, but the shop was closed. I'll send a photo of a flower I took in the past. It looks like a chrysanthemum with trumpet-like petals, a charming and lovely unnamed flower.
Thank you always.

Even a casually taken photo of an unknown flower can be tied to unforgettable memories. By revisiting a photo you might have forgotten, you can organize precious memories.
