We want to go a-picking flow
ers. We want the nicest one we can
find in the garden . . . Wait! Here
is a plant that we think will be
hard to equal. We will just walk
around it and not disturb it.
First there is the crowning . . .
The main glory . . . the choicest
blossom. It has been fully open for
some time. Dominating in its beau
ty everything around it. The first
blush of color has changed to a
mature flush of grandeur, trans
cending some cluster of others,
ranging all the way from full open
flowers, to some almost open, and
these in turn supported as it
were, by a galaxy of smaller buds
and scions. All giving rich prom
ise, but as yet, lending a wonder
ful support or setting for the
mother flower.
