Flower power. I bet you’ve heard of that often. I’ve never really thought of the meaning behind it but flowers certainly have a certain kind of power that makes one feel happy, appreciated and admired. Flowers make surrounding beautiful if not making a certain area look like a piece of paradise…that paradise, a place in which existence is positive, harmonious and timeless.

“The business of a poet, said Imlac, is to examine, not the individual but the species; to remark general properties and large appearances. He does not number the streaks of the tulip.” – Samuel Johnson

The tulip and the butterfly

Appear in gayer coats than I:

Let me be dressed fine as I will,

Flies, worms, and flowers exceed me still.

“The one red leaf, the last of its clan,

That dances as often as dance it can,

Hanging so light, and hanging so high,

On the topmost twig that looks up at the sky.”

-Samuel Taylor Coleridge quotes

“It is, in my view, the duty of an apple to be crisp and crunchable, but a pear should have such a texture as leads to silent consumption.”

Edward Bunyard, ‘The Anatomy of Dessert’
