"Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul." 

"The optimist sees the rose and not its thorns.

The pessimist stares at the thorns,
oblivious to the rose."

"Loveliest of lovely things are they on earth that soonest pass away.  The rose that lives its little hour is prized

beyond the sculptured flower."

William C. Bryant

"The violets in the mountains have broken the rocks."

Tennessee Williams

 

 

That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
William Wordsworth
