As a student and horticulturist I have found that aside from my quest for knowledge and growth the next most desirable aspect is sharing with others. That is what this column is about. I want to share the beauty and wonder of nature. Everyday I am given gifts from nature and these should be passed on to complete the circle of life we live. As soon as the moment passes it is forever history.
Plants are no exception.
Each tree, herb, and flower have a strong history behind them. Stories can range from ghosts and evil spirits to love and joy. Flowers and plants speak most powerful thoughts and are well worth learning. Valentine's Day is only a few weeks away and the language of love will be spoken loud and clear. With a little help from this guide and a card to explain, the flowers you give can create a whole new feeling.
