floral friday: made me smile.

// floral friday is a monthly photo project created by trishie at under lock and key // 

we're already into the third floral friday of the year! this month's theme is "made me smile." i love this theme. i went to go pick out flowers for the week and came across bunches of pretty of ranunculus. like many of you, they're one of my favorites. when i saw the sunny yellow bouquet, it totally made me smile. 

yellow is my favorite color. but it wasn't always. blue was. but when i reached my senior year of high school i suddenly started embracing my korean roots and i wanted to learn and know more about the culture, language and people of the country my family left when i was 7. so i did what made sense to a teenager me ... i began listening to kpop. i know. embarrassing. kinda hilarious, but mostly embarrassing. there was this one group that i really liked - you know the typical boy band, 5 guys who all kind of had different roles and looks. well, the one dude who i thought was cool, his color was yellow. {are you guys laughing yet?} and that's how that color kinda stuck. and i've liked it ever since. to be honest, when i was growing up, i read somewhere that the color yellow symbolized jealousy and that made me dislike the color. now it just reminds me of sunshine and i love it. 

is there a particular flower that made you smile?  

ps - if you thought this was funny, i must tell you the story of how i got my favorite number. perhaps another time.
