Megan Shares a Floral Sleeve from Edmonton

Back in May, I met Megan in Penn Station. She was visiting New York City from Edmonton, Alberta. Her lovely full sleeve caught my eye:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfoBwRgAg91_4bGW9-13d1F81OAqEWlsEkoe3KaXOgPlf6g25EQd3t5qNDenil-Wpk0Ks9ENp54sMrUtMcf72eOnCfMal5j4XMKVKs_7sM5yBci_b4q5MBGGocXRiJB61iAwgZXegE0qU/s615/photo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfoBwRgAg91_4bGW9-13d1F81OAqEWlsEkoe3KaXOgPlf6g25EQd3t5qNDenil-Wpk0Ks9ENp54sMrUtMcf72eOnCfMal5j4XMKVKs_7sM5yBci_b4q5MBGGocXRiJB61iAwgZXegE0qU/s1600/photo.jpg" /></a></div><br />I mean, it really is spectacular: <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJPqJC1zF2ciN1BsFSisbExtf7pw8V3lnQRm6uJidhi4O0E_WzX6Lc3aH99QdUJPs5IEFTRtVu9FArLTnZ1T7zedMxguDKPZj5qOoKvywYxSWHlELW9-ClZAv7QuzFw2MKUBZnzvQ5pds/s615/photo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJPqJC1zF2ciN1BsFSisbExtf7pw8V3lnQRm6uJidhi4O0E_WzX6Lc3aH99QdUJPs5IEFTRtVu9FArLTnZ1T7zedMxguDKPZj5qOoKvywYxSWHlELW9-ClZAv7QuzFw2MKUBZnzvQ5pds/s1600/photo.jpg" /></a></div><br />With "love" and "faith" inscribed on her wrists, her arm is a bloom with roses, chrysanthemums, calendulas, and a bright sunflower at her shoulder, with a hummingbird fluttering on her back:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPKX-hLdOJj33iXhRtrhyphenhyphenycPMR4Hzyp04Ty4NywL340SsShyphenhyphenvsVY6cYbbS36RZu0Aebwahmk6gyt-Qy7u_sjvYqpm4EDqI5BGg0pKqzIQp-kzra0eRF5M6fhLNCvITuJuy5lrPIqjNwRI/s614/photo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPKX-hLdOJj33iXhRtrhyphenhyphenycPMR4Hzyp04Ty4NywL340SsShyphenhyphenvsVY6cYbbS36RZu0Aebwahmk6gyt-Qy7u_sjvYqpm4EDqI5BGg0pKqzIQp-kzra0eRF5M6fhLNCvITuJuy5lrPIqjNwRI/s1600/photo.jpg" /></a></div><br />The pink flowers below the hummingbird are <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gladiolus">gladiolas</a>.
