Happy May Day

May Day basket ideas perfect for that special someone who loves chocolate and flowers


Flowers... are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty out values all the utilities of the world.  ~Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1844

A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books.  
~Walt Whitman

Every flower is a soul blossoming in nature.  

~Gerard de Nerval
