Looking at a Flower

When looking at a flower, what gives it its beauty?

Is there a mathematical formula designed not only to shape every petal but also to place it in a perfect sequence, with each petal colour-coded to give the ideal shade of red, white, or pink?

I wonder if the environment can change the way we perceive the beauty of a flower. I mean, if the flower is placed in the pocket of a suit, it stands out and its beauty is magnified. But if the same flower is given to a florist, will its beauty disappear in comparison to the other flowers, or will it reinforce and complement the flowers the florist placed alongside it?

Does the beauty of the flower exist only because of its colour, shape, and texture, or do the stem and scent amplify it?

Or is the beauty of the flower only beauty because of the time and effort (some might call it love) that was put into growing and nurturing it? To be fair, even encountering a wild flower in the chaos of the wilderness has its own beauty.

Once a seed is planted, water, soil, and weather need to be taken into account. If we replace ourselves with the seed, what we consume (meaning what we eat, drink, listen to, and look at), where we are located (the people we are surrounded by and our place of safety), and the environment we are exposed to when it comes to stress all affect our beauty in the long run.

How can we expect beauty if everything around us seems intent on destroying it?

I do not think beauty is something that is simply woken up.

It is worked on long before it blossoms. It starts with the heart. What we allow in it. And how we choose to take care of it.
