Heart-Shaped Leaves





Céline Dion - My Heart Will Go On

     When you love someone, all of your senses are involved.  For love that is expressed by music, it involves sight and sound. Flowers involve sight and smell. How many of us look at the flower and forget the green leaf that gave the flower its power and nutrition?
The heart-shaped sunflower leaf makes me think of love.



So does the heart-shaped betel leaf of the betel nut tree. According to a Vietnamese legend, it is part of the Vietnamese custom to have these intensely green leaves, in the shape of a heart, to be a part of the wedding gifts.  They symbolize an eternal union.
