Rhododendrons: a garden scene

 

"There is something remarkably more beautiful about flowers that you yourself have planted, and divided and cared for, than any other flowers. It reminds me that the creation of beauty is a happy experience."----Lady Bird Johnson

"Flowers have spoken to me more than I can tell in written words. They are the hieroglyphics of angels, loved by all men for the beauty of their character, though few can decypher even fragments of their meaning."
