Flowers

     One sure sign of Spring is when all the flowers begin to bloom. I love flowers because they are usually so pretty and beautiful, and because there are just so many types. I like a lot, and I suppose my favorite flower depends on my mood, but I really like roses and daisies. I also really like orchids, which are much more exotic. Flowers are very meaningful, and each have their own meaning and symbolize something. Another thing I like about flowers is how they often have a nice fragrance to them. Sometimes, it can be strong or unpleasant, but I find that many flowers smell sweet and nice. Plus, with the ones that don't smell as pleasant, it's still a new sensation of smell that I get to experience, and for that alone I enjoy it because it is broadening my senses.  
     One downside to flowers is that they don't always last. Most flowers die after a week or so, and unless you dry them and press them, they won't last. Some people don't really care for flowers, and I can see why, because they die after awhile.  But, I think that just adds to their beauty. You have to appreciate them while they are still alive, and you only have so much time before they do die. However dead flowers should also be appreciated, because each organism is precious in it's own way. It's similar to how to look at life, as you have to appreciate things that come and go and the things in the present, instead of looking towards the future or always looking at the past. I always feel like flowers are a quick fix to a bad day, as long as they are alive of course!
