Flowers
Flowers' importance in nature is everywhere—they can feed insects, birds, animals and humans; provide natural medicines for humans and some animals; and aid in a plant's reproduction by enticing outside pollinators. Without flowers, plants would merely be green.
For every expression we want to convey, there is a flower we can use to speak our minds, from “Thank you,” and “I love you,” to “I’m sorry,” or “I’m here for you.” We regularly use the world’s diverse family of plants to breath beauty and aroma into any occasion, incorporating flowers in once-in-a-lifetime events, while also placing them in our everyday lives to break up the mundane. Flowers are a constant source of reliance and beauty in a life of constant change.
People around the world surround themselves with plants like violets, palms and daisies to illuminate their offices and break up the monotony of a long, draining workday. Flowers can block draining fluorescent lights and pale wallpaper, giving us the comfort we need to finish any long to-do list and allowing us to pursue tasks with a positive and confident attitude.
It isn’t coincidental that flowers have become synonymous with the vibrancy of life, because they’re inherently essential to all life on earth. Their natural beauty will always draw our attention, but it’s their life-giving nature that gives flowers their symbolic power and ultimately reminds us why they’re so important to our everyday lives.
