In such a sense, i like to refer to trees as the poets of the plant-life world, in that they are overly-dramatic and turn the smallest of issues into a complete farce of attention seeking. I feel also, that they deserve such a show less so than flowers, because in Autumn a tree wilts only until spring, but a flower will die, and yet flowers, while highly self-absorbed, do retain an air of dignity and grace as they die. A major issue with this entire concept though is that one feels inherently wrong to criticise trees, as they are so very loving and soft most of the year round, providing shade and free hugs and often fruit.
