‘Earth laughs in flowers’ (Emerson)
Flowers and human emotions are a close link. A lover’s offering of beauty to beauty. To the mourner a flower speaks where there are no words. There must be a flower for every occasion expressing feeling better than speech can.

Many of our picture are available as prints from our sister site www.natureprints2.com.
