&lt;p&gt;        &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;O Holy One,&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I ran through the fields and gathered flowers of a thousand colours-- And now I pour them out at Your feet. Their beauty and their brightness shout for joy in Your Presence. You created the flowers of the fields and made each one far more lovely than all the skill [a human being] could design. Accept my joy along with theirs, this field of blossoms at Your feet. Holy One, as the wind blows through these flowers till they dance in the ecstasy of creation, send Your spirit to blow through my being till I too bloom and dance with the fulness of Your Life. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Ishpriya R.S.C.J.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      I love the flowers in particular - thank you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The un-named pink looks like a Mandavellia but the branches are more like those of Plumeria which it is not. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      Dedicated to all these beautiful flowers and their beauty...something I had written awhile ago, but seems just apt for these little, precious gifts of the Universe...:)

To a little flower&#8230;.

You wipe those eyes, my little flower. 
The rain will stop, I&#8217;ve asked the sun. 
You have to bloom, you have to talk 
to all those who will stop 
to see your beauty and your grace. 
For that time my flower, you wait! 
They need to know, what little time 
You took to show this world of mine, 
That heaven lies in tiny steps, 
Not long hours of prayers in depth. 
So wait till then, have courage child, 
There&#8217;s promise in this life divine. 
That day the land will stop to see 
You shining with the sun and me. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      Oh Mark,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THIS Mandala is truly gorgeous! And that Mother message divine as it is!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I can only aspire to be nothing BUT a FLower - thank you for clearing my new mission!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seriously - that was sooo insightful, meaningful &amp;amp; beautiful that I feel honored and blessed!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And those links you provided contain such abundance of information and knowledge about flowers and their spiritual significance, an aspect we rarely think about, that it may take me a lifetime to explore, enjoy and apply, but I certianly intend to. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last but not least,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;DID I TELL ALL OF YOU WHO ARE READING THIS NOW&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How MUCH&amp;nbsp; I THANK YOU!?!&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I did not, He/She will keep repeating it till you believe it! :)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://aura.zaadz.com/photos/7/67060/large/Pink_Cockatoo.jpg?" alt="http://aura.zaadz.com/photos/7/67060/large/Pink_Cockatoo.jpg?" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

One must try to become like a flower: open, frank, equal,  generous and kind. Do you know what it means?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;A flower is open  to all that surrounds it: Nature, light, the rays of the sun, the wind, etc. It  exerts a spontaneous influence on all that is around it. It radiates a joy and a  beauty.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;It is frank: it  hides nothing of its beauty, and lets it flow frankly out of itself. What is  within, what is in its depths, it lets it come out so that everyone can see it.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;It is equal: it  has no preference. Everyone can enjoy its beauty and its perfume, without  rivalry. It is equal and the same for everybody. There is no difference, or  anything whatsoever.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Then generous:  without reserve or restriction, how it gives the mysterious beauty and the very  own perfume of Nature. It sacrifices itself entirely for our pleasure, even its  life it sacrifices to express this beauty and the secret of the things&lt;br /&gt; gathered within itself.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;And then, kind:  it has such a tenderness, it is so sweet, so close to us, so loving. Its  presence fills us with joy. It is always cheerful and happy.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Happy is he who  can exchange his qualities with the real qualities of the flowers. Try to  cultivate in yourself their refined qualities.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="right"&gt;THE MOTHER&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.aurobindo.ru/workings/ma/flowers/subengli_e.htm"&gt;The spiritual names of flowers &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.vedamsbooks.com/no19472.htm"&gt;The Spiritual Significance of Flowers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; This is a beautiful 2 vloume set with full color pictures and descriptions.&amp;nbsp; We added this to our library while we were in India.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
