Nature is painting for us, day-after-day pictures of infinite beauty if only we have the eyes to see them.

~ John Ruskin, English Art Critic 1819 - 1900

Flowers are sunshine, food and medicine to the soul.

~ Luther Burbank American Botanist 1849 - 1926

Flowers take the tears of weeping night,

And give them to the sun for the day's delight.

~ Joseph S Cotter Jr. Author A White Song and a Black One 1861 - 1949

The best things that can come out of any garden are gifts for other people.
