Talking about flowers!

[Carmen Elsa Irarragorri Wyland]

I personally, have a passion for flowers and they are all so intriguing to me, the immense variety of forms , shapes and colors they express, I am always amazed to look at the works of nature that they manifest!

So:

Looking at them brings us peace, reminds us of the gentler side of life, and bestows peace and tranquility. So take a little break, lean back, enjoy the flowers and read some of the inspiring things people have had to say about them.
