Flowers have an inner beauty that we may not notice at first glance. The exquisiteness of a single bloom maybe overlooked when it is arranged in a bouquet with other gorgeous specimens. Now, I am not suggesting that you shouldn't purchase artfully arranged bouquets, what I am saying is that the next time you receive some flowers, perhaps you might take a bit of extra time to look closer... marvel at the individual beauty and charm of a petal, or stamen. Notice the thick, powder pollen that makes up the anthers... the delicate veins running through a transparent petal... the flirty twist of a leaf that is attached to a wispy stem.
Or in this case, the center of a hollyhock...
Let's not treat flowers like fast food. Instead, let's savory the fragrance, texture and visual pleasure they have to offer. Take time to stop and smell the flowers!
