Nature is filled with marvels: precious gems that dazzle and sparkle, scented flowers that come in a multitude of shapes, aromatic and medicinal herbs, and magnificent, tall trees that provide protection. These masterpieces have been admired down through time. Over the centuries, they have been assigned magical powers and perceived as symbols.

Under the general theme of Signs and symbols, this series of chronicles gives you an opportunity to enter the universe of nature and learn about the meanings of the marvels it offers us.
