PERSONALITY OF PLANTS middle age, but for our young prince we want flowers of the spring that may become his time of day." Sometimes, through sentimental attachment, whole peoples elect certain flowers to represent them before the world. Thus the United States has chosen the Goldenrod for its national floral emblem, while the Rose of England, the Thistle of Scotland, the Shamrock of Ireland, and the Leek of Wales act in the same capacity for the British Isles. Man paid a high compliment to the mystic veneration in which he holds the plant world when he, in his primitive beliefs, invariably conceived of heaven as some terrestrial paradise of luxurious vegetation. The Persians had their Mount Caucasus; the Arabians dreamed about an Elysium in the Desert of Arden; the Greeks and Romans had bright mental pictures of the Gardens of Hesperides; and the Celts hoped to spend their postmortem existence on an en- chanted isle of wondrous beauty. Such beliefs have fallen into disuse, but man is still a long way off from a solution of the various mystic phenomena of the plant world. [184]
MYSTICISM IN THE PLANT WORLD Botanists should leave off indexing and classify- ing plants for a while and endeavour to discover the subtle and fascinating laws of their psychic existence. [185]
