We use bouquets to make our loved one happy or to welcome a new born. Flower can be used to decorate dishes and to add smell to the dishes. We can compare our life with the life of a flower. As the life of a flower starts as a small bud and when bud grows up, the petals of the flowers comes out of the bud and spread its sweet aroma in the surrounding and after that flowers start losing its aroma and slowly does and so is the case with human lives. 

That’s why we can say that flower is our companion from birth to death.
