| Summary | "Parables from Flowers" by Gertrude P. Dyer is a collection of moralistic tales written in the late 19th century. Each parable embodies lessons on themes such as fidelity, faith, gratitude, and kindness, often conveyed through the experiences of flowers and their interactions with one another and the world around them. The stories provoke reflection on human emotions and virtues through the lens of nature's delicate yet profound creations. The opening of the book introduces the first parable, "The Forget-Me-Not—Fidelity," which tells the story of a wren couple. The tale unfolds as the male wren goes missing, leaving his mate heartbroken as she tends to their young. Determinedly, she sets out to find him and learns he has been captured and imprisoned. Despite her inability to rescue him, she faithfully visits him, bringing bits of nature to remind him of their love. Ultimately, tragedy strikes as both succumb to despair, a poignant narrative that underscores themes of love, loyalty, and the sorrow of lost connection.
