I love flowers almost as much as I love animals. But the flowers I like best are not cut; they're just about everywhere: gardens, parks, tree lawns, hanging from baskets hung on light poles. Something is beautiful, blooming, or green almost 12 months a year here if people know where to look. One of my joys is hunting for flowers and trees in their seasons just to look, smell and enjoy. But no cutting!
