“Farewell deare flowers, sweetly your time ye spent,
Fit, while ye liv’d, for smell or ornament,
And after death for cures.”
- George Herbert
It’s often in the graceful appearances of the natural things
that a troubled soul finds solace. Flowers are one of them, and probably the
most delicately beautiful of all. Though miniature, and mute, the language they
speak if far more audible and yet their words, difficult to decipher. It
requires special skill set to encode what they have to say, like Braille for
the blind. It’s difficult, mind you, not impossible. Those who take delight in
these miniature-ish off springs of nature can very well hear the silent hymns
they sing out loud. Sweet is the little time they spend; honeyed is the taste
they leave, for long. It’s because of this enigmatic existence that flowers are
cherished by one and all. It’s also the reason why among the hordes of
technological innovations and other class of gifts, flowers still, in the 21st
century, remain the most preferred choice for gifts all around the world. If
you want to send a bunch of these lively and lovely beauties, anywhere in the
world, but are caught short on what message they may convey then have a read of
