Nature's  genius in radial symmetry 

gathers the rain, condenses the fog 

and mist into dewdrops like funnel; 

radiates the sun's rays to the fullest,

from morning to sunset, to reach

for the sky and to fill every space; 

 expression of fullness and beauty,

and love and peace from Thee.  - avr

Identify each one as you would be walking through the garden.
