| Famous Quotes: |
The artist is the confidant of nature, flowers carry on dialogues with him through the graceful bending of their stems and the harmoniously tinted nuances of their blossoms, Every flower has a cordial word which nature directs towards him. (Auguste Rodin)
Gardens and flowers have a way of bringing people together, drawing them from their homes. (Clare Ansberry)
A thorn defends the rose, harming only those who would steal the blossom. (Chinese proverb)
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)
