Have you ever seen a Ladder to Heaven? You may have without realizing it. That’s the name of the bloom dedicated to the Feast of the Ascension and otherwise known as a gladiolus. Liturgical feasts and each mystery of the rosary have flowers associated with them. Even if you aren’t able to start a Mary garden this year, you can appreciate these Marian blooms through art. Find inspiration for your prayers and the garden of your soul with the Marian botanical art at www.RoseHarrington.com, a shop and blog operated by Katrina Rose Harrington, who researches historical flower theology and Mary gardens.
