Say it with Flowers
“Beauty is, no doubt, the most spontaneous and most widespread relationship we have with flowers. We find them so beautiful, so pleasing to the eye that they have entered our daily lives in many different ways. We give them as signs of thoughtfulness, gratitude, or love. We welcome them into our homes, onto our tables, wallpaper, and drapes. We choose them to adorn our bodies, clothes, and skin, and wear them in the form of jewelry. We want them near us, in our flowerpots and gardens, on our screensavers and wall decorations. We make the effort to travel to see them painted by artists. Flowering plants, or angiosperms, are the plant family that most inhabits our imaginations and dreams. To all appearances, we love flowers.”
