Crystal Flowers!

Freemind Pictures ©


God loved the flowers and invented soil. Man loved the flowers and invented vases. A variation of a saying by Jacques Deval (God loved the birds and invented trees. Man loved the birds and invented cages.)


In the present age, man's love for flowers have taken a different turn. So much so that he rather gift, cheap plastic or cloth replica flowers. For all the love and creativity, only man can conjure the idea of gifting a plastic replica (crystal design) flower with a cheap flashy light to add from the bottom.


A flower's appeal is in its contradictions - so delicate in form yet strong in fragrance, so small in size yet big in beauty, so short in life yet long on effect. ~Adabella Radici


"For how long?" and what kind of "effect", does one expect when gifted with a 'made in China', plastic replica (crystal design) flower? Until the battery lasts, perhaps?
