"Consider the lilies of the field. They toil not, neither do they spin. Yet Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed as one of these" - or something like that. This goes through my head every time I drive down local roads edged with wild daylilies.

considered a fortunate person, but his good fortune is small
compared to that of the happy mortal who enters this world with a passion for flowers in his soul.
