Expressing Feelings with Flowers
from: Lawn and Garden MagicOf all the wonderful things in this world, flowers a the one thing that seem to be a part of just about every culture in the world.

Some flowers are perennials which means they don't have to be replanted each year. There are also annual flowers, or those that bloom once every year and, did you realize there are even flowers that are edible -- yes, the variety is almost endless.
