flowers are not made by singing "Oh, how beautiful," and sitting in the shade.
- Rudyard Kipling
flowers have spoken to me more than I can tell in written words.
They are the hieroglyphics of angels, loved by all men for the beauty of their character,
though few can decipher even fragments of their meaning.
- Lydia M. Child
I will be the gladdest thing under the sun!
I will touch a hundred flowers And not pick one.
- Edna St. Vincent Millay
There is that in the glance of a flower which may at times control the greatest of creation's braggart lords.
- John Muir
