“Flowers… are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the utilities of the world.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
I see flowers as a part of nature that’s universally aesthetically pleasing. The varieties of colours, shapes, and sizes make flowers so pretty to look at. I find it interesting that such a thing could be so pleasurable. From a bouquet in a vase at home, to landscaping, or growing in the wild, flowers are enjoyable by simply looking at them or to just knowing they are around you. Flowers are a way to say ‘thank you’, ‘I love you’, ‘you’re appreciated’, or ‘with sympathy’. I cannot think of another gift that is so versatile or can convey so many things. Simply stated, flowers make me happy.
I bought this particular bouquet of ranunculus from a local horticulturist, Shelley Chappus of Chappus Farms. I first saw her flowers on Intagram and was (and still is) wowed by their beauty. Paired with a breezy floral dress, I was ready to enjoy the splendours of spring!
