| Famous Quotes: |
A thorn defends the rose, harming only those who would steal the blossom. (Chinese proverb)
Arranging a bowl of flowers in the morning can give a sense of quiet in a crowded day - like writing a poem, or saying a prayer. (Anne Morrow Lindbergh)

Gardens and flowers have a way of bringing people together, drawing them from their homes. (Clare Ansberry)
An idealist is one who, on noticing that a rose smells better than a cabbage, concludes that it will also make better soup. (H. L. Mencken)
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)
