IF THERE'S ONE THING I truly love in this world, it's flowers! Their timeless beauty inspires me to great hippie-deeds. Maybe that is why the flower is like a symbol for us hippies. I, for one, wouldn't be caught dead without spending a day of my life without flowers in my long, flowing hair. Of course, this especially goes for when I'm going to San Francisco!

                 LOVE IS IN THE AIR.

LIKE, MAA-AAN, I COULD go on all day about why flowers are like, the shiznit, but I've chosen to let the poet Thomas P. Moses do so for me instead. In his poem Flowers, he very clearly gives air to the same opinions that I share! Dig on it and let the words sink in! Hit it, my flower-brother Thom!

I dunno if this picture of orchids 
fits in, but I sure do like orchids!

WHERE IS THE HAND WOULD crush a flower / Unheedful of its worth? / He who outpours the genial shower / Is author of its birth. / O, bring me flowers when the last, / Last pulse has told its tale; / They'll cheer the scene amid the blast / That turns the features pale.

YOU TELL IT LIKE IT IS, THOMMY!!! YOU TELL IT!!!!!!

A field full of beautiful flowers! God's very own personal gift to you, man! Breathe deep and dig the scent!

FLOWERS SPREAD LOVE all around themselves! Can you feel the love emanating from me as I write this article? I think flowers gives a man a very natural auric-sensoral-
energy-attuning to the love in the world around him! I for one can understand why hippies in all ages (even as far back as thousands of years ago) has made it a point to always have a flower handy for contemplation into the inner essence of beauty. And not to mention for smoking it too, of course! 

This boquet of tulips if fragrant and 
beautiful, like me! What a miracle 
of nature!!!

'TIS EARLY DAWN - and all around / Bright dewy flowers I view / Uprising from the fertile ground / Of every form and hue./ The waving trees in silken sheen / Unfold their blossoms gay / And on each festooned bough are seen / Young minstrel birds at play.
...

Roses are truly God's gift to all humans!
