Sun Burnt Gerbera Daisy

“He looked like an Italian, was dressed like an Englishman, and had the independent air of an American-a combination which caused sundry pairs of feminine eyes to look approvingly after him, and sundry dandies in black velvet suits, with rose-colored neckties, buff gloves, and orange flowers in their buttonholes, to shrug their shoulders, and then envy him his inches.” Louisa May Alcott

The Wonderful World of Lavender

“There’s flowers for you;
Hot lavender, mints, savory, marjoram;
The marigold, that goes to bed wi’ the sun,
And with him rises weeping; thes are flower
Of middle summer, and I thek they are given
To men of middle age.”
William Shakespeare The Winter’s Tale
