Comments:
This is another one of the photos my mother gave me. I think this is the same photographer as the one here, and in the partnership seen here. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence, but it’s interesting that both photos I have of women from North Adams show them with flowers in their hair. The woman here is also wearing a large sprig of something on her chest. Can somebody with more plant knowledge identify it? It reminds me of mistletoe, but that’s probably not right. I wonder if it has some significance, or if it’s just meant to be pretty?

Looks like lily of the valley flowers on her chest but I’m not sure.
Yes, they do. That’s probably a good guess.
