Happy International Women's Day! Called Festa della Donna in Italy, the tradition is to honor women (and show solidarity with women worldwide) with a sprig from a Mimosa tree. When I was in Florence, I was honestly expecting a morning cocktail, but these bright yellow blooms are also lovely. Here's to all the women in my life- I love and admire you!
