“What a lonely place it would be to have a world without a wildflower!” 🌻
There's something about flowers that just draws you in. Whether it's their sweet fragrance, natural beauty or hidden meaning, a single glance at a colorful bouquet or a wildflower on the side of the road is enough to cure any bad day. In life and art, flowers symbolize new beginnings. As winter comes to a close, the blooming of hyacinths, bluebells, and lilacs signals the return of spring.

But others use flowers as a metaphor for a greater message about love and life. Take Sheryl Crow's words, for instance: "No matter how chaotic it is, wildflowers will still spring up in the middle of nowhere."
