This flower came from a tree above a graveyard at a small church where Charles Lindbergh was buried. I've enjoyed reading about Lindbergh. He made the first trans-Atlantic flight from New York to Paris in the late 1920s and became an immediate celebrity. Over 4 million Americans were waiting for him upon his return to New York! Interestingly (and sadly) a bad guy kidnapped his 1 1/2-year-old baby later on for ransom money. However, the guy dropped the baby while coming down the ladder at Lindbergh's house, and the baby died immediately and was left just a few miles away. Also, Lindbergh had numerous extra-marital affairs and had about seven more kids--all of whom were kept secret.
