Flowers are those little colorful beacons of the sun from which we get sunshine when dark, somber skies blanket our thoughts. – Dodinsky, www.dodinsky.com
[F]lowers… adorn our lanes, fields and fells, and… smile upon us and cheer and bless us in our country rambles…. the lovely blossoms… kiss the clear brooks and mountain wells… – James Rigg, “Preface,” Wild Flower Lyrics and Other Poems, 1897
