plant a seed....grow a flower....
a simple act but one that is full of wonder...
there are double petunias and single petunias, single coloured and double coloured and you can never tell which will spring up from the tiny seed until much later... all the seeds look the same....where lies the differentiation that ultimately appears in the beautiful flower???....that it can be contained in something so tiny is BEYOND COMPREHENSION... it gives an insight into creation and the world at the micro level which in scientific terms is hard to understand....
each marigold contains the seeds for almost a hundred others...if you plant one and collect the seeds... next year you will have a whole flower bed of marigolds....yes they are so easy to grow....
and what of plants that you can simply break the stem and replant and get a new plant....flowers for free....
and what of flowers, like morning glory and hibiscus, that bloom only for a day
.if you dont enjoy them that day they are gone forever..ephemeral..you now understand the meaning of that word...
wild flowers that grow in forgotten spaces...just playing their part in creation..
not to speak of fragrance and velvety softness....
flowers are Gods gift to us.... everyday...
