There's no doubt that flowers look like precious jewels adorning plants and as such it is fair to refer to them as nature's treasures. They come in all sorts of colors, shapes, and sizes. They're diversity is dazzling and although most people have preferences when it comes to flowers, there are flowers to match any inclination, predilection, or proclivity. Making flowers all the more valuable is their seasonal nature. Certain flowers only naturally appear at certain times of the year. Of course, people can go to great lengths to make them available throughout the year by cultivating them in hot houses, but, generally speaking, most flowers are tied to the natural cycle of the year and for most people, most of the time are only available during certain seasons and often only a portion of a season for plants with short blooming periods.
