I love flowers. Nature's grandeur and splendid brilliance come with every flower we know - unique color blossoms - sent for our enjoyment. To think they are a form of life itself - like the eye of a plant, we can appreciate botanicals as they are the yin to our yang. It even works technically as well - we provide plant food (CO2), and in return they provide the breath of life (O2).
This exchange of life and color is flower-filled emotion that makes us appreciate our own humanity. When done well, our most uniquely celebrated human events; birthdays, weddings, funerals, remembrance - all have a floral component! Have we asked 'why'? Is it color at the foundation of that influence? Flowers have to have some sway over humanity - a unique ability to affect our mood every day in otherwise everyday-life.
