Faded Gardenia
My wife took this photo of a faded Gardenia flower, next to our house. Larger sizes available.
Isaiah 40:8 The grass withers, the flower fades,
but the word of our God will stand forever. (ESV)
I may as well mention here, that the conclusion I arrived at from the observations I was afterwards able to make, was, that the flowers die because the fairies go away; not that the fairies disappear because the flowers die. The flowers seem a sort of houses for them, or outer bodies, which they can put on or off when they please. George MacDonald, Phantastes.
