Without flowers, where would we be?
Limited to wishing happy anniversary
or Valentine’s Day. A flowerless society
would be lacking rainbow bouquets of
color to see and aromatic fragrances to
breathe.
Without flowers, sending our regards,
best wishes and condolences would be
woefully insufficient when expressing
our sincerity.
Without silver bells or cockle shells,
how would Contrary Mary’s garden
grow? How would it be that in song,
Everything’s Coming up Roses? And
in biblical verse, without the Garden
of Eden, where else on Earth would
Adam and Eve be?
Why, without flowers, birds, insects and
blossoms would not pollinate and thrive.
Bees would waste away uselessly confined
without sweetness to their hives. And
lovers would not use Honey as a term of
endearment to ingratiate their lives.
