I am looking to put together a book for my mother for her Christmas gift. It will include photos of many of the flowers from our gardens this year.

I am thinking along the lines of "Flowers of the Heart" or "When a Heart Blooms". I would appreciate if anyone could help me with a translation of this. She has a strong Irish bloodline (Archer, McCormack and so on) and I thought the Irish translation would make a beautiful title.

Thanks in advance for all of your help!! :ta:

Another option:

An croí faoi bhláth
‘The heart in bloom’

Always wait for at least three people to agree on a translation, especially if it’s for something permanent.

My translations are usually GU (Ulster Irish), unless CO (Standard Orthography) is requested.

Both of those look good to me. :good: (But best to wait for better confirmation. :yes: )

Thanks for these. It will be a while before I put it together as I am gathering photos, but I will check back! Thanks again for the quick responses.
