�Flowers are both perennial and transient; we get to enjoy a single bloom for only a short time, but trust that there will always be more in the future. Photography, by contrast, is the art and the science of capturing whatever is impermanent around us and transforming it in to something longer-lived, for our pleasure or, at least, our inspection. "Where Flowers Bloom" grew out of the catalogue for a temporary exhibition I produced, so is my own attempt to produce something more permanent from something fleeting. This book went through many incarnations before reaching its present form and, whilst working on it, I was reading a number of Zen Buddhist texts for another project, which partly explains some of the Buddhist and oriental influences on this book. I very much like the traditional Japanese cultural and artistic preoccupation with the natural world and with the passing seasons, so that was another influence. My hope is that this book will offer its readers a calming and uplifting experience, or at least a reminder of the pleasures of the natural world around us.�

A flower is not just a flower but a one-of-a-kind work of intricate art. It expresses how special and unique we all are as individuals, who live together in a world of so many cultures.

I am a physician practicing medicine and pulmonary subspecialty in New York. Photography has been my lifelong hobby. In pursuit of my hobby I have taken courses in Photoshop, attended photography lectures, seminars and workshops and have traveled with photographic groups to near and remote places. In camera clubs I have lectured and given slide shows and have heard lectures by professional and amateur photography experts. Some of my photographs have been published in medical journal, magazines and brochures. This is my first book of photographs selecting flowers as the major subject. The flower and botanical images were taken during travels in different parts of the world but mostly in our home using available props, by daylight or floodlights. I used a 35mm Nikon camera and more recently a Panasonic Lumix.

MYSTERIES With ROSES – Supernatural Phenomenon – A Sense of Awe
VALENTINE’S DAY soon here – Feb. 14

Valentine’s Day, is known as a holiday to celebrate love, and roses are much loved and admired. Roses were the embodiment of love, spirituality, and beauty in the Middle Ages and progressing throughout history, have become a decorative symbol of earthly love. If you ask ten people to name their favorite flower, probably the majority would name the rose. Roses are given to others as a gift to express one’s love. Another holiday similar to Valentine’s Day is Sweetest Day, held on the third in October, also celebrated with Roses.

Although it is hard to believe, there are so many mysteries with roses, which are true stories, reported by people worldwide. Fresh cut long stem red roses (delivered by a florist) actually stayed alive for ten (10) weeks, a historical record! This historical record, an INCREDIBLE FIND, happened to Lynda Peringian, from Dryden, MI. This was documented in the front page of the newspaper, The Eccentric,” and witnessed by so many people. Peringian happened to be an author so she wrote a book about the true story. Now readers of her book, The “MIRACLE ROSES” – A True Story, are reporting mysteries which are connected to this book.
“A live red rose in the middle of the road!” said Connie Simmons
“A single red rose on the floor,” reported Judi Peli.
How is it possible for a nun, St. Therese, living only to the young age of 24, to touch the lives of millions of people a century after her death? Love is the answer. She was extremely full of love, not only with her family and other people, but with nature. St. Therese loved flowers, especially roses and she said, “After my death, I will let fall a shower of roses.” That she is doing, causing a sense of supernatural phenomenon, a sense of awe.

For over a century, St. Therese has kept her promise and she is known to be a powerful intercessor to these who call upon her. She also said, “I will spend my heaven in doing good on hearth.” Miracles, grace, favors, and so many good things are happening everyday by intercessions (Mediation) and they are happening worldwide. St. Therese is known as the “greatest saint of modern times,” and she touches us all with her presence from heaven. She is known with many religions (Jewish, Moslems, Christian, etc.). Although some people think she is associated with only Catholics, this is not true. She is well liked and people seek her healing and guidance. She is known as the “Little Flower,” since she thought of herself as being a small flower in a garden.

A saint is a holy person who performs miracles. St. Therese’s ability to work miracles comes from God. She is a conduit of God’s power. Can you imagine roses appearing to people and causing us all to wonder. If it happens to you, you say to yourself, “What on earth is going on?” You are wondering if this is a dream. You are not afraid, but rather pleasantly surprised, and happy with this good event… it is a blessing! St. Therese often leaves a rose as her calling card and outward sign of her presence.

Although there are no traceable explanations to the fascinations of life’s mysteries, wouldn’t you agree that life would be dull without them? Surprisingly, readers of Peringian’s inspirational book have reported roses appearing to them, usually red in color. They have been fresh cut roses, but also silk roses. The floral industry (florist, gardeners, nurseries, associations, societies, and others involved with roses) have said “fresh cut long stem roses have not lived as long as Peringian’s roses.” Take note that these roses were delivered by a florist to her house which were fresh cut roses, not roses growing outside in her backyard.

Roses usually live no longer than one to two weeks, perhaps a little longer. People all over are saying,” I never have heard of roses lasting as long as Peringian’s roses.” Peringian wondered “Why did God select me to receive those amazing roses?” That is because Peringian, a healthcare professional, likes to help people and share. She reminds people to believe in miracles and reminds us that miracles happen everyday.

Peringian’s book, A BEST SELLER with the publisher, Xlibris, is called
The “MIRACLE ROSES” – A True Story
A Conduit to St. Therese
This book works as a conduit (connector to help people) and readers advice to others who are seeking answers to their prayers, an intercession from St. Therese, or other guidance, is to keep it simple, not a large list. Whether or not your prayer gets answered, either way, say “Thank you Lord. I have many blessings and appreciate them all.” She says in her book, “Do not take things for granted. GOD IS IN CONTROL.”
