After all these years in this very interesting and challenging profession, I thought it was time to share the horror stories, the near misses and the tips for all those requiring translations from English to French. Some of this may apply to other languages as well. Je précise pour mes lecteurs francophones que je compte rédiger mes messages dans les deux langues officielles du Canada, l'anglais et le français.

Gerbera Daisy
This is a Gerbera Daisy; I photographed it several years ago in a quaint flower shop in San Francisco. What appealed to me were the softness of the colours and the delicacy of the petals. Research on the Internet reveals that it belongs to the sunflower family, and has some 30 species. Its habitat extends to South America, Africa, Madagascar and tropical Asia.
What is interesting is that Ontario nurseries now carry this plant and we now have two of these daisies planted in our front yard. Their colour matches that of the nearby geraniums. Our world is shrinking . . .
