Multiply is in the throws of closing down and as I went through some old posts this particular little gem gave me a few ideas for our group here.
Since this post was made many of those who contributed their emblem are no longer in contact however some most definitely are!
The flower photos along with the avatars for those who joined into this post were placed together by a very dear friend from India, Shankar Grandpa. Shankar is no longer with us but I would love to post this new challenge in His honour because he was a very loving and helpful friend to many in cyber land.
So dear members the challenge is now declared back on again here in our little group.
You can post your photos here or on your own page.

Who can estimate the elevating and refining influences and moral value
of flowers with all their graceful forms, bewitching shades and combinations
of colors and exquisitely varied perfumes? These silent influences are
unconsciously felt even by those who do not appreciate them consciously
and thus with better and still better fruits, nuts, grains, vegetables and
flowers, will the earth be transformed, man's thought refined, and turned
from the base destructive forces into nobler production. One which will
lift him to high planes of action toward the happy day when the Creator
of all this beautiful work is more acknowledged and loved, and where man
shall offer his brother man, not bullets and bayonets, but richer grains,
better fruit and fairer flowers from the bounty of this earth.
