I heard an interesting phrase in the local THR radio. The phrase sounds like this, “A baby born to live an expected 100 years comes to the world crying, but a flower that is expected to live a few hours to few days comes in with a cheerful blossom”.
Somebody sent this phrase the radio station via SMS and they aired it. It was really a great thought provoking phrase.
In my earlier article, I wrote about flowers that has a never ending objective. Here it is interesting to note that flowers teach us another valuable lesson.
Although it has a short life, from the stage of being bud to a full blown blossom, it is really beautiful and it seems to be smiling all along.
Human cry when they are born, they cry occasionally there after for many million reasons (some says it is healthy to cry, let them cry too for that reason).
Should we laugh all the time, or should we laugh a little and cry a little, or laugh a little and don’t cry at all….there is no right or wrong answers,. Human are born with many self empowered authorities. Unlike the nature’s children (flowers and others – non-human), human doesn’t live on a routine life style. Human will change everything – himself and the nature around him, thus creating opportunities for mistakes that hurts himself and his surrounding.
Striking a balance is an achievable target for human. The best we can do is learn from the nature and live the best life we can.

I have wonderful colours in my collection. The best part of these flowers is, it blossom at around 9:00am and wilt by noon. What a short time to show off its glamour and beauty. It makes me think whether its worth to blossom and live a life as a flower just for a few hours. What glory can it gain in such a short period. Most of us leave the house before 8 and only return in the evening. We can only see the buds early in the morning before its full blossom.
I understand that orchids stay up to 2 to 3 weeks. Naturally its beauty is incomparable in the flower kingdom. To the title of being the most beautiful flower, it stays long to contribute to visual desire of man.
Although both table roses and orchids have one thing in common, which is its unique beauty but both have totally different life cycles. One stays for only few hours and the other for weeks. Yet, something makes both of them feel useful to this world and mankind.
Both knows that as a flowering plant, it should keep on giving new blossoms as the old one withers. Regardless to the life cycle of the blossoms, the plant continues to paint the world with its blossoms add a smile to every human in this world. The objective of the plants are not just to flower once but evertime the old one falls. The cycle never ends.
