Human beings first used natural colors centuries ago. During those times synthetic colors were not available. Flowers were the main source of color. This article does not intend to go into how the colors were extracted and so on, but how colors of flowers can make our life a better living experience. Let us examine.
Look at flowers.
You will find arrange of colors -from purest white to black. Some flowers are single colored while many have colors so beautifully mixed that no painter can do something similar. The first observation we can make is - all colors look good on flowers. We may hate a color, for example you may dislike yellow. But if you pick up a yellow colored flower, you may not dislike it.

Flowers, An Annual Event
Are you a natural when it comes to gardening?
Do you simply wish your rose bush to bloom, and presto, roses appear?
Well, if you are a green thumb, congratulations.
As for me, it is an effort of biblical proportion, to get even the grass to grow.
I would hazard a guess, and estimate that the remaining 90% of the general population share this problem.
If flowers were so easy, we wouldn't need florists and landscapers.
Flowers are without a doubt a gift from the gods.
They surround us with beauty, remind us that some color in our lives can bring happiness to our drab surroundings, and often are a subtle reminder of that special moment we don't want to forget.
