“Flowers have an expression of countenance

as much as men or animals.

Some seem to smile;

some have a sad expression;

some are pensive and diffident;

others again are plain,

honest and upright,

like the broad-faced sunflower and the hollyhock.”

~Henry Ward Beecher, Star Papers: A Discourse of Flowers (quotegarden)
