Quem me compra um jardim com flores?
Borboletas de muitas cores,
lavadeiras e passarinhos,
ovos verdes e azuis nos ninhos?

Quem me compra este caracol?
Quem me compra um raio de sol?
Um lagarto entre o muro e a hera,
uma estátua da Primavera?

Quem me compra este formigueiro?
E este sapo, que é jardineiro?
E a cigarra e a sua canção?
E o grilinho dentro do chão?

(Este é o meu leilão.)

    "I LOST MARIA. MARIA WAS LOST TO ME!Maria was one of my contacts for a long while. I could always depend upon her photographs to suprise and amaze me. At some point, for no reason, she was lost to me and her flickr photostream. Imagine how that must have been! To lose the constant natural beauty of the best in Brasilian horticulture... honestly, there is no 2nd or 3rd to Brasilian horticulture.Well, I can tell you, I am very seriously happy to be reunited with Maria and her wonderful, fantastic and magical photography..."

    "Amethist's photo pool is a botanical reference source. The photographs are beautiful and well thought out for artistic and naturalistic portrayal.

    The naming of the flowers plus additional information that she often includes makes Amethist's site a scientific reference site wrapped in the beauty of it's subjects."

    "I have just recently discovered Amethist's images, but I felt compelled to write this testimonial because they are so extraordinary. She finds the most beautiful and unusual flowers, photos them in a way that is amazing, and for an added bit of spice she often gives us another view of the flower right under the first photo! Amethist is one of my favorite floral photographers!"
