Flowers ae beautiful hieroglyphics of nature,
with which she indicates how much she love us.
~Wolfgang von Goethe

Christianity sees plants and flowers as created by God to show forth and share with humans the divine goodness, beauty, and truth – the purpose of all Creation.  In this flowers may be enjoyed simply and directly in themselves as showing forth God’s goodness and beauty, or, more fully, as archetypes, signatues, symbols, and bearers of legends, mirroring the revealed articles of Christian faith – thereby serving as means for their teaching, recollection, contemplation, and celebration.  ~John S. Stokes

Sing to the Lord, for he has done glorious things, let this be known to all the world.  ~Isaiah 12:5  ✝
