The flowers of Europe – My whole life I have grown many beautiful flowers. I met many Bulgarian and foreign friends in my garden for joint celebration of old customs such as Blagovestenie. There was also a meeting with a very famous woman, Mrs. Carmen Stadelhofer, the coordinator of many projects for the pensioners. We met her in my garden with bread and salt which is the Bulgarian tradition. For me, the bread is as a flower of Europe which we give to our distinguished guests.
