"Flowers that are so pathetic in their beauty, frail as the clouds, and in their coloring as gorgeous as the heavens, had through thousands of years been the heritage of children - honored as the jewelry of God..." ~Thomas de Quincey
God's jewelry. So, so befitting.
Even without the most precious stones one can ever imagine, women past and present have managed to adorn themselves -- with blossoms. There is something bewitching about flowers. It is as if a spell has been cast and the link between the female of our species and nature's blooms was set.
