FLOWERS AND PLANTS ARE SILENT PRESENCES; THEY NOURISH EVERY SENSE EXCEPT THE EAR.

WHEN WE LEARN TO CALL FLOWERS BY NAME WE TAKE THE FIRST STEP TOWARD A REAL INTIMACY WITH THEM.

I WANDERED LONELY AS A CLOUD THAT FLOATS ON HIGH O'ER VALES AND HILLS, WHEN ALL AT ONCE I SAW A CROWD, A HOST, OF GOLDEN DAFFODILS.

~FLOWERS OF INSPIRATION~

Flowers have been the inspiration of poets and writers since time immemorial.  Their very names--periwinkle, delphinium, dianthus, briar rose, beliotrope, columbine, and morning glory-spill from the tongue in sweet sounds.  Flowers symbolize the evanescence of human life. They are the omens of love and hope.  O f beauty and promise. Even of death.  Princess Grace of Monaco

FINALLY SPRING IS HERE!!!!!
