flower quote by Robert Louis Stevenson
When in these fresh mornings I go into my garden before anyone is awake, I go for the time being into perfect happiness. In this hour divinely fresh and still, the fair face of every flower salutes me with a silent joy that fills me with infinite content; each gives me its color, its grace, its perfume, and enriches me with the consummation of its beauty.
flower quote by Celia Thaxter

I must have flowers, always, always.

flower quote by Henry Ward Beecher
All the wars of the world,
all the Caesars,
have not the staying power of a lily in a cottage garden.
flower quote by Reginald Farrer
Sometimes the tiniest flowers
smell the sweetest.

A morning-glory at my window
satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books.

that have been dipped in lemon and velvet.

Forsythia is pure joy.
There is not an ounce, nor a glimmer of sadness
or even knowledge in forsythia.
flower quote by Anne Morrow Lindbergh
You cannot forget, if you would,
those golden kisses all over the cheeks of the meadow,
queerly called "dandelions."
flower quote by Henry Ward Beecher
I appreciate the misunderstanding
I have had with Nature over my perennial border. I think it is a flower garden;
she thinks it is a meadow lacking grass,
and tries to correct the error.
flower quote by Sara Stein,
My Weeds
All my life, I have tried to pluck a thistle and plant a flower whenever the flower would grow in thought and mind.
flower quote by Abraham Lincoln
'Just living is not enough,' said the butterfly.
'One must have sunshine, freedom,
and a little flower.'
flower quote by
Hans Christian Andersen
We cannot fathom the mystery of a single flower, nor is it intended that we should; but that the pursuit of science should constantly be betrayed by the love of beauty, and accuracy of knowledge by the tenderness of emotion.
flower quote by John Ruskin
In my garden there is a large place for sentiment. My garden of flowers is also my garden of thoughts and dreams. The thoughts grow as freely as the flowers,
and the dreams are as beautiful.
flower quote by Abram L. Urban
'Twas a park wherin all rainbowed flowers were heaped together, a refuge from the world, yet strangely in the world.
flower quote by Charles Kingsley
Take thy plastic spade,
It is thy pencil;
take thy seeds, thy plants,
They are thy colours.
flower quote by William Mason,
The English Garden
Hundreds of dewdrops to greet the dawn,
Hundreds of bees in the purple clover,
Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn,
But only one mother the wide world over.
flower quote by George Cooper
Gardening is the art that uses flowers and plants as paint,
and the soil and sky as canvas.
flower quote by Elizabeth Murray
Earth laughs in flower.
flower quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is material enough
in a single flower
for the ornament of a score of cathedrals.
flower quote by John Ruskin
A house though otherwise beautiful,
yet if it hath no Garden belonging to it,
is more like a Prison than a House.
flower quote by William Coles
I am not a greedy person except about flowers and plants,
and then I become fanatically greedy.
flower quote by May Sarton

Don't hurry, don't worry,
and stop to smell the flowers along the way.

We live among marvels: each flower a masterpiece of subtle beauty, form, and scent.
flower quote by Marion Garretty
Flowers are our greatest silent friends.

a seed waiting to sprout,
a bulb opening to light,
a bud straining to unfurl.
And the anticipation nurtures our dreams.

as if it were to be the last one for me.

a garden of beautiful flowers
where I can walk undisturbed.
