Happy Sunday! Yes I went a little crazy when picking dandelions... 
Only handful of you will really know how big of a deal this is for Armenian nation, but I’m sure all of you could relate to human suffering. “Promise” may be a good movie to watch if taking a deep dive into history is not your thing. This date has been one of most painful moments in Armenian history as well as a very defying one. As an Armenian my heart is full today not only from the significance of April 24th, not even that both my grand-grandmothers are genocide survivors, not only that my dad fought in a war in 1992 that was fueled by many of the events that fallowed 1915 mass-killing of 1.5 MILLION Armenians... but also president Joe Biden recognized the events that took place more than a century ago as what they are: Armenian GENOCIDE ❤️💙🧡 ... Washington Post today!!! “President Biden’s affirmation of the Armenian Genocide marks a critically important moment in the arc of history in defense of human rights,” said Bryan Ardouny, executive director of the Armenian Assembly of America. “By standing firmly against a century of denial, President Biden has charted a new course.” ... President Biden recognized the massacre of Armenians by the Ottoman Empire in 1915 as a genocide Saturday, a designation that U.S. presidents long avoided for fear of damaging the U.S.-Turkey relationship. The decision follows a lengthy lobbying campaign by members of Congress and Armenian American groups eager to see the White House use a term embraced by many scholars of early 20th century history. “The American people honor all those Armenians who perished in the genocide that began 106 years ago today,” Biden said in a statement. “Let us renew our shared resolve to prevent future atrocities from occurring anywhere in the world. And let us pursue healing and reconciliation for all the people of the world.” Historians estimate that 1.5 million Armenians were killed in a campaign of forced marches and mass killings born out of Ottoman concerns that the Christian Armenian population would align with Russia during World War I, abetting an arch-nemesis of the Ottoman Turks... #recognizearmeniangenocide #aremeniangenocide #washingtonpost

👩🏫 What is a bou·ton·nière anyway 💡 /ˌbo͞otnˈir/ noun: boutonnière; a spray of flowers worn in a buttonhole 🤭 Origin- late 19th century: French, ‘buttonhole’, from bouton ‘button’. Yes that’s true, but for a floral designer it much more. 🤩For me it is a way of massive artistic expression wrapped up in a tiny little spray of flowers 💐 after all devil is in the details?!
