Nature's spectacular artworks have so much appeal that we have cultivated flowers for thousands of years. It's such a nice
bonus to often get fruits or vegetables after the stunning displays of beauty.
"To see a world in a Grain of Sand,
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour."
~William Blake
