Heart shapes. Symbols of love and reminders of those we love.
Have you ever noticed how many heart shapes Mother Nature has given us? They are there for your enjoyment, if you just look.

Cherimoya, one of my favorite sub-tropical fruits, grows on our farm. Its skin is rather leathery, but the fruit inside is creamy. Some folks call it the custard apple.

Several plants have leaves that form a heart shape. This four-leaf clover has hearts within hearts if you look carefully.

Don't you love the pattern in this leaf?

On our treks to the beach, I'm always on the look out for heart-shaped coral. Beachcombing takes on a different meaning when your focus is finding symbols of love. This piece of coral is sitting on a heart-shaped chunk of lava rock.
Every time I discover another heart shape in nature, I think of it as being surrounding by love. On your next walk, see how many symbols of love you can find in nature.

The anthurium are beautiful. I loved working with all of the tropicals when we had them at the flower shop. Mainly only in special orders and funeral work, but they are so gorgeous. My favorite is torch ginger.
ReplyDeleteThe torch ginger is a stunning flower. I'm partial to anything heart-shaped in nature, so the anthuriums are one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteI never realized there were so many heart shaped objects in nature. Thanks for sharing your knowledge on that.
