Flowers.......

Christianity sees plants and flowers as created by God to show forth and share with humans the divine goodness, beauty and truth the purpose of all Creation. In this flowers may be enjoyed simply and directly in themselves as showing forth God's goodness and beauty, or more fully, as archetypes, signatures, symbols, and bearer of legends, mirroring the revealed article of Christian faith - thereby serving as means for their teaching, recollection, contemplation and celebration.
