A great idea and very inspiring. The sacrifices we all make today will make us stronger, in the same manner that those who came before inspire us. Some great history here. I really do enjoy your writing-it has been a nice find.

Thank you so much. That means a lot.

How great it would be if a yellow rose became like the ubiquitous MAGA red hat.

I forgot the yellow rose is also symbol of Texas. Proposals can be tweaked though. It's a proposal and not the final image.

You’re very welcome. I’m in the middle of writing a book on our failed institutions and nothing improves my writing more than reading other’s people’s terrific work. Great point on Texas.

Love your proposal to use the yellow rose as a significant symbol during these trying times and enjoyed reading your research about the significance color yellow in art and history. I am a firm supporter of using art to impact political and social movements!

We need someone to make the yellow flower ping and promote them as symbols of freedom. In any case, grand idea.

Thank you, Mary. I would love it if Biden started wearing a yellow rose pinned to his suit jacket.
