What gardener wouldn't love the name  Full Flower Moon?

I agree with Vita Sackville-West, "Flowers really do intoxicate me."

Some other beautiful quotes about flowers:

• Earth laughs in flowers ~Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Hamatreya"
• I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.  ~Claude Monet
• The flowers of late winter and early spring occupy places in our hearts well out of proportion to their size.  ~Gertrude S. Wister
• Bread feeds the body, indeed, but flowers feed also the soul.  ~The Koran
• The violets in the mountains have broken the rocks.  ~Tennessee Williams
• I will be the gladdest thing
  Under the sun!
  I will touch a hundred flowers
  And not pick one.
  ~Edna St. Vincent Millay, "Afternoon on a Hill"

And for your listening pleasure, a beautiful melody, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, from the album Beyond the Missouri Sky:
