Let me use my reader's voice...
Flowers are used worldwide as a symbol for beauty and emotions. We give each other flowers to express our affection, and we use them to celebrate special events or to show our gratitude.
They also symbolise the turning of the seasons. We look forward to familiar flowers such as snowdrops, bluebells and daffodils because we associate them with spring. Sunflowers and poppies speak of the summer months.

Scientifically, flowers exist in a bewildering range of colours, sizes, forms and styles – there are over 300,000 species. The smallest flowering plant in the world is the watermeal, or Wolffia globosa, which is about the size of a grain of rice. The world’s largest bloom is the rare Rafflesia arnoldii which can grow up to one metre in diameter. It is very rare – which is handy as it wouldn’t fit in a buttonhole!
