- Imagine preparing all year for a public performance.…The anticipation, the jitters,…the expectations of others in just how well you'll do.…The moment arrives, and folks admire you…and share their accolades, or they take note…of the production, but from afar.…Or worse yet, you come out and no one's there to see you,…at all!…Yep, the short-lived life of a flower.…Arguably a centerpiece of Mother Nature's crown.…From the plant's perspective, whether we see it or not,…the bloom is working in overdrive…with a very different agenda.…
The vibrant show of petals, the gentle scent,…the taste of the nectar and the pollen…are really about the propagation of the species;…the whole birds and bees scenario.…Since minus the pollination process,…nature will screech to a grinding halt.…Then, there is the designer's perspective.…Flowers are the portal of propagation.…A symbol of life and freedom.…A throwback to the free-love generation…and the best way to decorate a Microbus.…They represent freshness, beauty, fertility and feminism.…
