Flowers Online

Flowers have spoken to me more than I can tell in written words.

They are the hieroglyphics of angels, loved by all men for the beauty of their character,

though few can decipher even fragments of their meaning. 

- Lydia M. Child

The flower offered of itself
And eloquently spoke
Of Gods
In languages of rainbows
Perfumes
And secret silence…

- Phillip Pulfrey, from Love,

 

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

 

He who is born with a silver spoon in his mouth is generally
considered a fortunate person, but his good fortune is small
compared to that of the happy mortal who enters this world
with a passion for flowers in his soul.

-   Celia Thaxter
