The flower is the poetry of reproduction. It is an example of the eternal seductiveness of life.
- Jean Giraudoux
Isn't it odd that flowers are the reproductive organs of the plants they grow on?
- Logan Pearsall Smith
flowers are not made by singing "Oh, how beautiful," and sitting in the shade.
- Rudyard Kipling
As well as any bloom upon a flower I like the dust on the nettles, never lost Except to prove the sweetness of a shower.
- Edward Thomas
