Why flowers, you say?

The flowers are the essence of the beauty of plants. Their colors and scents are our first contact with the nature that surrounds us and lulls us.

A field of flowers fills me with a sense of happiness quite ataviste. Not you?

The representation of flowers in the decoration is a common feature of our civilizations since time immemorial.

• Think of the Egyptian with the Flower of Life in the temple of Osiris at Abydos, old at least 6,000 years, and whose symbol was echoed by almost all religions; • Think of all those countries that use a flower as a symbol of the nation - the rhododendron in Nepal for example .. • Think of Virgil and roses of Paestum "that bloom twice a year"; • Think of all those paintings of our great masters from the 15th century until today.

And here, my answer is: everybody loves flowers!

To conclude, I stole a quote from the website of Stephanie Clier nurseryman Sault in Provence that sums up my point.

"Sometimes the dew falls and flower remains, but the flower wilts in the morning sun; sometimes the flower fades and dew remains, but the dew disappears before evening. Thank God painted flowers remain. "
