Welcome to the month of May, so often associated with myriad flowers. This blog celebrates these fragile lovelies. Today, let’s hear from voices other than mine. Keep reading. At the end, there’s a slide show (click the first photo to begin) of all sorts of blossoms.
A few writers on flowers
“Nobody sees a flower – really – it is so small it takes time – we haven’t time – and to see takes time, like to have a friend takes time.”
― Georgia O’Keeffe
“A garden to walk in and immensity to dream in–what more could he ask? A few flowers at his feet and above him the stars.”
― Les Misérables
“I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine.”
― A Midsummer Night’s Dream
“The violets in the mountains have broken the rocks.”
― Camino Real
“He said that we belonged together because he was born with a flower, and I was born with a butterfly and that flowers and butterflies need each other for survival.”
― The Declaration

Either I or my husband, Hoyt, took these photos around the U.S and overseas. Enjoy!

Hi Kathleen! Flowers bring me such joy, always have. Grew up with a mother who loved them, and I guess that rubbed off on me.

Oooo, so lovely and I adore Georgia O’Keeffe’s words on flowers and friends. Taking time to really see, really know…
