It is not growing like a tree in bulk doth make man better be; Or standing long an oak, three hundred year, To fall a log at last, dry, bald, and sere, A lily of a day is fairer in May Although it fall and die that night, It was the plant of flower and light, In small proportions we just beauties see; And in short measures, life may perfect be. (Benjamin Johnson)
Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made and forgot to put a soul into. (Henry Ward Beecher)
Gardens and flowers have a way of bringing people together, drawing them from their homes. (Clare Ansberry)
