Flowers of the Bible

Kristen Wilkerson, of the Lansing Interfaith Examiner, writes a short article that covers the plants mentioned in the bible and its referenced uses. Wilkerson covers 6 flowers in this article, specifically: Almond Blossoms, Bulrush, Pomagranate, Saffron, Mandrake and Caper Berry flowers. While the author does not go into detail, she highlights a short list of other flowers that are mentioned in the Bible, including roses, lilies, leeks, myrtle, and mint. Many of them are still popular and grown in many landscapes today. Full article can be found at the Examiner site>
