flowers ...





Where flowers bloom so does hope.






A flower's appeal is in its contradictions - so delicate in form yet strong in fragrance, so small in size yet big in beauty, so short in life yet long on effect. 





~Adabella Radici ~
 



 



Flowers have an expression of countenance as much as men or animals.  Some seem to smile; some have a sad expression; some are pensive and diffident; others again are plain, honest and upright, like the broad-faced sunflower and the hollyhock. 





~Henry Ward Beecher, Star Papers: A Discourse of Flowers
