Sing with your voices,

your hearts, your

lips and your lives.

Augustine Of Hippo

"Breadfruit is monoecious

with male and female flowers

developing on the same

tree at the end of branches.

The male inflorescence (flower)

typically appears first.

It is club shaped,

ranging from 10 cm

to 45 cm long...

...Each breadfruit is a compound

or multiple fruit called a syncarp.

The female inflorescence,

appearing after the male,

consists of 1500-2000

minute flowers attached

to a spongy core.

The flowers fuse together

and develop into the fleshy,

edible portion of the fruit."

Crown Flowers

"The crown flower has

blossoms that are used

in lei-making. Crown

flower leis have

royal symbolism.

The blossom's petals

roll back and expose

what looks like

a small crown. This

flower was a favorite

of Queen Liliuokalani

Hawaii's last queen."

Altocumulus Undulatus

Helpful acts are the

good that love does.

     Swedenborg

I would not enter

in my list of friends,

Who needlessly sets

foot upon a worm.

An inadvertent step

may crush the snail

That crawls at evening

in the public path,

But he has the

humanity, forewarned,

Will tread aside, and

let the reptile live. William Cowper

Everyone was a rose

but even more complex

than a mere flower.

Everyone was made up

of infinitely layered petals.

And everyone had something

indescribably precious at

the heart of their being. No one was shallow.

Not really. Mary Balogh
