Flowers always make people better, happier and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine to the soul. – Luther Burbank
If we had paid no more attention to our plants than we have to our children, we would now be living in a jungle of weed. – Luther Burbank
It is well for people who think to change their minds occasionally in order to keep them clean. For those who do not think, it is best at least to rearrange their prejudices once in a while. – Luther Burbank
Flowers have an expression of countenance as much as men or animals. Some seem to smile; some have a sad expression; some are pensive and diffident; others again are plain, honest and upright, like the broad-faced sunflower and the hollyhock. – Henry Ward Beecher, Star Papers: A Discourse of Flowers
