We walked to the Sign In tent, where I got a wrist band, and my purple T shirt (which I put on for the walk). Then we walked over to the Flower Garden:


At this point, it is about 8:30 AM. I can tell you, we walked passed here again just after 9 Am and there were only 5 or 6 flowers left.


The flowers are in 4 colors: blue, yellow, purple and orange. You notice here as well, they include all forms of dementia, not just ALzheimer's. Each color represents something different:


I picked out a yellow one for my Dad and a Purple one for my Aunt Mary.

I put my flowers in the ground and then I had someone take photos of us!


Edited version:


At 9 AM after a few announcements, we started the almost 3 mile walk:
