| I'm creating a garden space and I need flowers and plants with TEAR in the name.
So far I have these: Job's Tears
I've done some searching online, but can't seem to find much else. Any input is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

| Dicentra Golden Tears Passiflora 'Crimson Tears' Achimenes - common name "Mother's Tears" Not flower names but interesting: The flower symbolism associated with the lily of the valley is "Our Lady's Tears." |
|
| I found three: Commelina coelestis, trandescantia virginiana, and tinantia erecta that have the common name Widow's Tears. |

| Thanks everyone! These are great ideas! I found some others while searching online: Daylilies - Russian Tear, Golden Tear, Golden Tear Drops There were two others, but I'm against them after reading how invasive they are and that they are considered weeds. This is a great start though! |

| Ollierose, I can't help but ask, since I am part cat and curiosity surely will kill me someday: why the garden of tears? Is it a memorial garden? I would love to see pics when you get it all planted out. On a lighter alternative, my kids have some friends that are described as "emo" (aren't ALL teenagers emotional wrecks!?!), and this might be a healthy way for the kids to have an emotional outlet--to plant a crying garden could be better than Zoloft or any $350/hour therapist, regardless of the cause of emotional distress; not to mention, there might be a new lifelong gardener in the making. Gardening truly is theraputic for me! |
