flower arrangement:
just two yellow daffodils, the first to bloom
- L.A. Davidson
Stop to smell the roses
- Thom Bodebt
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high over 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
flowers are the sweetest things that God ever made and forgot to put a soul into.
-Henry Ward Beckford
