The simple beauty of a single flower has the power to fascinate, captivate and delight us. Its fragrance can intoxicate and it remains a wonderful gift to give or receive. The vast varieties of flowers that exist provide an exceptional burst of vivid and subtle shades of colours inspiring a smooth transition from petal to paper for so many of our greatest poets including Wordsworth, Tennyson, Burns, Swinburne and Coleridge.

Quotes

  • Tatiana Chabaniukhas quoted5 years ago
    Where light white windflowers grew,
    And hyacinths heavy and blue.

    The windflowers fluttered light,
    Like butterflies white and bright;
    The bluebells tremulous stood
    Deep in the heart of the wood.

    I gathered the white and the blue,
    The wild wet woodland through,
    With hands too silly and small
    To clasp and carry them all.

    Some dropped from my hands and died
    By the home-road's grassy side;
    And those that my fond hands pressed
    Died even before the rest
  • Tatiana Chabaniukhas quoted5 years ago
    I am a kind word uttered and repeated
    By the voice of Nature;
    I am a star fallen from the
    Blue tent upon the green carpet.
    I am the daughter of the elements
    With whom Winter conceived;
    To whom Spring gave birth; I was
    Reared in the lap of Summer and I
    Slept in the bed of Autumn.

    At dawn I unite with the breeze
    To announce the coming of light;
    At eventide I join the birds
    In
  • Tatiana Chabaniukhas quoted5 years ago
    The trees in the garden rained flowers
