Correct handling of flowers refines the personality. Odd as it may appear, a gardener does not grow from seed, shoot, bulb, rhizome, or cutting, but from experience, surroundings, and natural conditions. We must cultivate our garden. To make a great garden, one must have a great idea or a great opportunity. Sir George Sitwell O amateurs of gardening, be amateurs of humanity also.
Flowers seem intended for the solace of ordinary humanity.
John Ruskin Nobody is fond of fading flowers. Nature does not complete things. She is chaotic. Man must finish, and he does so by making a garden and building a wall. Many things grow in the garden that were never sown there.
