I haven't ask this before, so I thought it would of interest to our esteemed members. Remember when you were a kid and there were so many flowers to admire. I mean real flowers. I think it was because people worked hard at horticulture creating real classic gems pure to their species. Of course, young girls could a picked them all. What do you think. [Smile]

Dan

I remember a song from long long ago called "Where Have All The Flowers Gone"...long time passing... just remembering some of the words, who sang it?

Well here is a largest rose in the world I took a photo in the gardens in the city last January.

and another one of the worlds largest daffodil

Its the fertilizer they use out here that makes things grow so big [Wink]

Talking about flowers I worked for an airline that used the "Mount Cook Lily" as the company logo sadly long gone although its really a buttercup.

Thats me towing one of the aircraft and a rare one of yours truly doing some work [Big Grin]

The lily or should I say buttercup is on the tail.

Where have all the flowers gone?

Into cakes, pies and other delcious baked goods!

Wheat flowers, Rye flowers ...

and if you don't eat enough wheats and flowers,

well, trips to the "Lou" will not be as pleasant as one would desire!

Therefore, I'm all for "Flour Power"

Ahem! They're still here. Girls like Little Bo Peep. Little Bo Peep was a little girl, who had lost her sheep. And didn't know where to find them. Now it's reasonable to assume if she had lost her sheep, she wouldn't know where to find them. So, leave them alone and they, they being the sheep, will come home(oh, it will be a brighter day tomorrow, they will come home)...wagging their tails. Pray tell me what else could they wag..... behind them? Do we think they would wag them in front? Of course, they could have come home out in reverse.

See! Great flowers of the past are now dead and new ones have been reduced to mere appearances on the tails of airplanes. [Frown]

Great thing the internet [Smile]

I found the version I was thinking about as I remember hearing it long way back in the early 60s, did a search last night and pretty sure the one I remember was sung by Marline Dietrich.
