Green is the colour of renewal& hope- a metaphor for freshness in the collective imagination.
Green symbolizes many things in different cultures.
Green is the primary colour of the landscape.

Bouquets
Flowers should fill us with harmony & take us on a path to a place without prejudice and boundaries. All flowers are created equal.
Nature proposes - the eye disposes.
We need only to know how to look at the plant world , how to respect the uniqueness of species & to accept their natural tendencies,
We mustn't force them , but reveal them.
We mustn't change their nature , spruce them up.
We must awaken them.
There are the ceremonial bouquets made purely for display slightly arrogant,
There are the bouquet without preconceived notions which reminds us of a moment.
A bouquets value has nothing to do with its size or shape .
Finally extreme simplicity is the peak of sophistication .
The bouquet has to reveal emotion - balance - grace.

Flowerpower
In our literature of love we have woven flowers into myths & stories and given them meanings.
We have presented them to one another, found beauty in their blooms.
We have taken flowers as emblems & composed of them our own language.
Since ancient times we put magical powers in them especially in the matter of love.
I will quote for you every day a flowers power............lets start with : Peony
The peony grants its recipient the power to keep a secret .
In it tightly closed petals ,nymphs could hide.
A deep rooted plant peony stands firm in the earth.
A peony is reputed to enhance the power of a promise.
Peony symbolizes prosperity.
