Within the pages of this book are the inspired utterances of writers and poets, philosophers and teachers, seers, sages, saints and mystics, of gardeners and those who simply love and admire the beauty of flowers and the deeper meaning of their presence on earth. May the light contained in the poetry, sayings and observations of these sensitive, often enlightened souls, fill your days with fragrance, with beauty and with love. "Flowers are the moment's representation of things that are in themselves eternal." ~Sri Aurobindo
