Grevillae aka Spider Flowers

Grevillea, commonly known as spider flowers, is a genus of about 380 species of evergreen flowering plants in the family Proteaceae. They grow in most habitats, and most species are endemic to Australia.

Grevilleas are good bird-attracting plants attracting especially the honeyeaters.

Plants in the genus Grevillea are shrubs, rarely trees, with the leaves arranged alternately along the branches, the flowers zygomorphic, arranged in racemes at the ends of branchlets, and the fruit a follicle that splits down one side only, releasing one or two seeds. - Wikipedia

Zygomorphic meaning – A zygomorphic flower is a flower that has bilateral symmetry, meaning that it can be divided into two mirror image halves by a single line passing through the middle of the flower. 

A raceme or racemoid is an unbranched, indeterminate type of inflorescence bearing flowers having short floral stalks along the shoots that bear the flowers. The oldest flowers grow close to the base and new flowers are produced as the shoot grows in height, with no predetermined growth limit.

Strength

Strength is not just about being strong physically. More important than being physically strong is our inner strength, our will. It is the ability to endure hardship, or withstand pressure. Physical strength is measured by what we carry. Inner strength is measured by what we can bear.

Usually, the strongest people are not those who show strength in front of us but those who win battles we know nothing about. Strength doesn’t come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn’t. Strength lies in tenacity and it comes only through continuous effort and struggle.

Human beings are like tea-bags. You don’t know your own strength until you get into hot water. - Bruce Laingen

Go within every day and find the inner strength so that the world will not blow your candle out. - Katherine Dunham

Strength does not come from physical capacity, it comes from an indomitable will. - Gandhi

Strength isn't about bearing a cross of grief or shame. Strength comes from choosing your own path, and living with the consequences. - Jennifer Armintrout

Be strong now because things will get better. It might be stormy now but it can’t rain forever. - Hailee

We acquire the strength we have overcome. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

We may get knocked down on the outside, but the key to living in victory is to learn how to get up on the inside. - Joel Osteen

As our heart summons our strength, our wisdom must direct it. - Dwight D. Eisenhower

Self Motivation

One of the things I enjoy doing when I have time on my hands is going through my collection of Aphorisms. They are motivating, inspiring, and some make me laugh. My spirits are lifted. I felt more confident, and more adjusted. It is a nice feeling.

Maybe, like me, you will be motivated, inspired and feel good about yourself after reading them.
