flower arrangement, Waterfront Hotel, Mactan
A flower is no different from music. A bloom, a scent from a distance and a petal of vibrant hue, make a heart skip with joy. It brightens a day, inspire the lonely, and make someone smile in a heartbeat.
Blooms speak of many emotions. It dig deep to the soul. Just like music does. It could evoke varied feelings both for the appreciated and rejected, for the loved and unloved, the living and the dead.
Every variety has its meaning, every color, a feeling. Flowers are everywhere. It is constant from the first break of life until the last breath of the dead. It is in every occasion, of births, weddings, deaths and in-betweens.
A Magnolia means dignity, a Stargazer for ambition. A Ginger is for the proud, a Hydrangea for perseverance, while the Hyacinth, for the sincere.
A Cosmos is for the peace-seeker. A Delphinium, for the bold. The innocents love a Daisy, while the Freesia's for the spirited.
Hues of yellows are for the hopelessly in love. Purples, for the royals. A bunch of reds, for the passionate, a pure heart, loves the dainty whites.
Carnations are those born on January, Violets for February. Asters for September, Holly and Poinsettia for December.
Simply put, flowers are the truest symbol of life.

from earth's lips spoken, without sound'
