Abstract :
“My flower has only four thorns” expresses the vulnerability of plants confronted with a rate
of destruction never experienced before, in spite of the valuable functions that they perform
and the commercial value that they represent. In a short synthesis, the current article aimed at
depicting an array of benefits and uses that flowers offer us, materially and emotionally, and
introduce some movements that elect flowers as their symbol of a non-violent ideology.
