Give Yourself A Bouquet of Fresh Flowers
August 24, 2006
Moz did a post on Australian flowers for me and Angel . I was very touched by his gesture. I told him that it’s not everyday that I get flowers from a thoughtful friend. 🙂
Like many other ladies, I love to receive flowers, especially when there is no particular reason & that makes it even more special. 😀
Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made. Nothing brightens a room or one’s mood quite like a bouquet of fresh flowers! Flowers provide a splash of vibrant colour to brighten the day and remind you of the beauty God placed in the world.
Flowers speak of fragility and delicacy of life and coax you to abandon your striving after the vain and temporal. They echo the splendours of Eden.
As the English statesman William Wilberforce once said, “Lovely flowers are the smiles of God’s goodness.”

Thank you for plugging me in this post.
No problem, Kyels. 🙂
Yes, flowers are beautiful and it makes one smile whenever they get a bouquet. After all, God’s creations are great and unique in their own ways.
(:
Yes, who can make a flower but God? 😀

I just want to share with everyone the lyrics of an old love song by Neil Diamond & Barbra Streisand entitled “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers”. *I still miss him very much.*
“You Don’t Bring Me Flowers”
You don’t bring me flowers
You don’t sing me love songs
You hardly talk to me anymore
When I come thru the door
At the end of the day
I remember when
You couldn’t wait to love me
Used to hate to leave me
Now after lovin’ me late at night
When it’s good for you, babe
And you’re feelin’ alright
Well you just roll over
And turn out the light
And you don’t bring me flowers anymore
It used to be so natural
To talk about forever
But “used to be’s” don’t count anymore
They just lay on the floor
‘Til we sweep them away
And baby, I remember
All the things you taught me
I learned how to laugh
And I learned how to cry
Well I leared how to love
And I learned how to lie
So you’d think I could learn
How to tell you goodbye
You don’t bring me flowers anymore
Well you’d think I could learn
how to tell you ‘goodbye’
You don’t say you need me
You don’t sing me love songs
You don’t bring me flowers anymore

Nature’s creation are just beautiful…
I do not fancy flowers, but then I still adore them…
It’s ability to cheer, surprise and brings joy amazes me…
That’s so true.
Thanks for sharing such a beautiful song too

Wah … plugging me … thanks !!!
Don’t mention it, Moz. 🙂
I hope you’ve enjoyed the photos as much as I did. I actually wish I can stay a little longer in Aussie for Spring, when it’ll be absolutely gorgeous, but I guess I can’t have it all, can I??
I love the photos. Thanks again. 🙂
Yes, Spring in Oz would be nice. *Sigh**I wish I can make a trip there.*
Nope, we sure can never have it all.

Yes, it’s one of my fave oldies. 🙂

I love sunflowers because it brings a smile to my face even when I’m feeling down. It spreads good cheer around 🙂
Sunflowers are like Smileys. 😀

Remember this line?
“Blue flower, red thorns! Blue flower, red thorns! Blue flower, red thorns! Oh, this would be so much easier if I wasn’t color-blind!”
Oh Yes! The donkey in Shrek. 😆
My fav quote : Find the seed at the bottom of your heart and bring forth a flower. 🙂
That’s a really nice. Thanks for sharing. 😀

On a not so recent trip to the markets, my boyfriend bought me a flower made from balloons. I squealed with delight cause he doesn’t buy me flowers often.
You’re right, its more special if there is no occasion for it.:)
I still have the ‘flower’, out of air and ‘withered’ but everytime I look at it, I smile my silly smile 🙂
That’s so sweet. Next time, he gives you some fresh flowers, you might consider drying them. That’s what I do to some of mine. 😉

Oh how I wish I could stop and smell the flowers now…
Bliss is the flowers
Bliss brings the flowers
Can’t you smell them from your monitor? 😆
Bliss is when the flowers blooms. 😉

it’s been a long while since I’ve gotten a real bouquet… hehe..
Me too..
I love flowers. The sweet smell of each stalk will just carry me away to a world full of daisies and tulips and sunflowers and yaddayadda.
Same here..
Lovely post. 🙂
