Some plants loves the sunshine and nutrients. They reward you with brilliant colors and fagrant.
Some people are receptive to love, prunning and nurturing. They are a pride and joy to be around.

Some plants like to be in the shade. They have refine textures and shapes.
Some people do not like to be in the spot light. But their characteristic are most admirable and honourable.

Some plants need very little attention. The more one fuss over them, the easier they wilt.
Some people do not like to receive any imput from others. They do well on their own.

Some plants come back year after year. Their reasurrance is like an old friend.
These are the people whom you can rely on and trust. They do not hover around you, but they show
up when it is time.

There are the plant who show off their glory in one season and then they are no more.
These are the short acquaintances. But they still bear some impact at some point of your life.

Some plant can take over the whole garden if you allow them.
Those are the people you want to avoid if you still want to have an opinion of your own.
Best of all is to set up a stiff boundary in between. So that they can at least thrift on their side.

Some plants are prickly, you can only admire them from a distance, but you cannot hug, smell or feel them.
I am not sure these people like it to be that way themselves. Nonetheless, they can't help it.

Some plants are forever thirsty, they have to grow in the water or they wither.
Some people constantly crave for attention which they never get enough.

There are plants that you cannot get close to because they are toxic or poisonous.
