    In the short story, “Paul´s Case”, the author, Willa Cather, uses flowers to symbolize Paul´s life, which she does to show the connections between all living things. In the story, Paul, a young high school boy, dreaming of a life of someone else, first works at a theatre, then drops out of school, gets a job, and in the ends stealing money from the company so he can pay for his travel to New York, Later on in the story, Cather describes how “flower gardens (were) blooming behind glass windows… (Both) violets, roses, and (again) carnations.” Flowers seem to follow Paul wherever he goes. Even, when there are no flowers around him, he asks for them in the hotel suite. Perfection and a longing for a world he was not naturally born in. In the end of the book, before Paul dies, he buys some red carnations. Before Paul jumps in front of the train, he buries the flowers in the snow. Paul´s life was like the flowers. Both the flowers in the glass windows, the one in his buttonhole, the ones at the hotel, and in the end the carnations he buries has a limit for how long they can stay alive. They have a better opportunity to live longer if they are in their right environment. When they get cut off from their roots and gets put into fancy glass windows they only have a certain amount of time that they can stay alive. The same thing happens to Paul. When Paul steals the money from the company, and leaves his roots at Cornelia Street for New York, where he, just like the flowers, only can live for a certain amount of time, because it is not his right environment. All in all the flowers symbolizes the life of Paul. They both bloom best in their right environment. The problem is; Paul does not know his right environment.…

    In the early 16th century the Netherlands experienced what was called "tulip mania" this was the beginning of the nations love for flora and foliage (Taylor 13). The result of this impressive flower invasion was a society that took a historical turn from which the results still remain today. Flower merchants, botanists and floral still life artists, were occupations that were an accurate reflection of the Netherlands demands (Brown). An interesting example of a life that was effected by, and devoted to the archiving of the flower craze was Rachel Ruysch (1664-1750) the 17th century Dutch flower painter. Rachel Ruyschs ' career straddled the 17th and 18th century, and her stunningly accurate floral pieces reflect the maturing, yet evolving art of floral still life painting ("Rachel Ruysch: Bibliography"). Ruyschs ' Still Life with Flowers on a Marble Tabletop (1716) is an excellent example of a painting that appropriately represents the genre of art that was created solely through specific societal events.…

    Like any other son or daughter, one may think that flowers are used as a token of appreciation on a day where all mothers around the world are celebrated for all of their efforts to raise us. Yet, the question of where and how the flowers are harvested and issued to consumers never comes up. Many serious labor and environmental problems have been associated with the floriculture especially south of the border in the Latin American countries where most of our flowers derive from through a tariff-free ship to the United States. Health hazards are the bare minimum that is suffered by this floriculture society as a result of the pesticide/fertilizer runoff into fragile water resources in the community and the chemicals that are used to preserve the flowers are exposed to the women who work with them on a daily basis. As a result, social change for the floriculture is…

    In nature, bounteous displays and vivid colors are considered ideal, especially when it comes to flowers. A great example of this is Little Bouquet in a Clay Jar by Jan Bruegel. This is an oil painting of an arrangement of flowers in a modest clay pot. The flowers are extremely voluptuous and bountiful in comparison to the small vase. The flowers take up the majority of the SPACE of the painting, displaying their importance and the ideal that nature is plentiful with beauty. The artist used COLOR in a layering effect of the flower-he used mostly blue, red, and darker yellow flowers in the back so that they can be seen threw the mostly lighter colored flowers in the forefront of the arrangement. This adds to the density and volume of the bouquet. The clay pot, wild flowers, and slugs and bugs all add to the natural and organic feel of the painting. Each flower is painted so intricately and with extreme detail despite the incredible volume of flowers. This attention to detail of each individual flower displays the artist’s appreciation and admiration of the beauty of nature and flowers in particular. This is also evident in the way the artist used LIGHT to bring to life the flowers and really capture their vividness, but yet the gold coins and jewelry in the corner is dull in comparison. This painting is a great example of how the idealistic of nature are displayed in artwork.…
