I will be the gladdest thing under the sun!
I will touch a hundred flowers And not pick one.
- Edna St. Vincent Millay
When bright flowers bloom
Parchment crumbles, my words fade
The pen has dropped ...
- Morpheus
With daffodils mad footnotes for the spring,
And asters purple asterisks for autumn
- Conrad Aiken
Every gardener knows that under the cloak of winter lies a miracle ...
a seed waiting to sprout, a bulb opening to the light, a bud straining to unfurl.
And the anticipation nurtures our dream.
- Barbara Winkler
