Dames aux Camellias

don't fact check my french!

Nat’s mom, Perlina wore flowers large

Roses up top and gladiolas below?

and small

Is that the same dress?!?! decades later? If it is not - she liked the same exact look. Pearls and white pansies.

She is the one that I was basing my flower choices on. I want her to appear magically from Nat’s imagination, take a flower out of a vase and attach it to her hat. (or appear magically with the flower already in the hat - and then as she leaves, put the flower into a vase on the piano.)

The flashback she takes Nat into would be a 4th of July in Alabama in the 1920s.
