"To analyze the charms of flowers is like dissecting music; it is one of those things which is far better to enjoy,than to attempt to fully understand."
Henry T.Tuckerman
As a florist, I spend a lot of time looking at flowers. You'd think I'd get used to it by now.You know. Looking at flowers with great wonder.
How brilliant the colors. How specifically placed each petal.The amazing scent. Or lack of one.
Just when I think I've seen it all. There's some other,different flower.
Saw a rose last week with green stuff coming out of the center. That's a rose?
I try to remember the names of the unusual ones. At least until I can get out the door of the wholesaler.
But I've given up on memory and have begun writing them down.
So I can go back to our shop and research them.
But mostly, I just sit in amazement enjoying their beauty. Grateful to be in their presence.
How about you?
Mimi
