Every garden may have some weeds.

Flowers are God’s way of smiling.

Flowers are the stars of heaven.

Wildflowers are like friends…..they always come back.

I asked God for a flower, he gave me a garden.
I asked for a friend he gave me you!

I’ve always thought my flowers had souls. ~ Myrtle Reed

If I had a flower for every time I think of you…
I would walk forever in my garden.

The men of experiment are like the ant; they only collect and use. But the bee . . . gathers its materials from the flowers of the garden and of the field, but transforms and digests it by a power of its own. Leonardo da Vinci
To see the world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower;
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.
– William Blake, Auguries of Innocence
We can almost smell the aroma of God’s beauty in the fresh spring flowers. His breath surrounds us in the warm summer breezes. – Gale Heide
The best things are nearest: breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feat, duties at your hand, the path of God just before you. – Robert Louis Stevenson
Little flower, but if I could understand, what you are, root and all in all, I should know what God and man is. – Tennyson
Christianity sees plants and flowers as created by God to show forth and share with humans the divine goodness, beauty and truth – the purpose of all Creation. In this flowers may be enjoyed simply and directly in themselves as showing forth God’s goodness and beauty, or, more fully, as archetypes, signatures, symbols, and bearers of legends, mirroring the revealed articles of Christian faith – thereby serving as means for their teaching, recollection, contemplation and celebration. – John S. Stokes, Jr., Flower Theology II
Why are wildflowers so important to those of us who care at all for flowers? For me, anyway, it is because they come like gifts from God (or Nature), and to encounter them in their natural habitat is an extraordinary aesthetic pleasure. – Katharine S. White
