Celebrate National Flower Week

National Flower Week is observed in the United States every year on the third week of September. During this week, you can show your appreciation for the beauty of flowers by planting some flower seeds, decorating with flowers or even incorporating flowers into your wardrobe.Better yet, “Take time to smell the roses:”

. . . . The budding rose never stays

The same but unfolds in lovelier ways

(From Stone upon Stone: Psalms of Remembrance)
