122. Daphne

I detected a Daphne flower by following the fragrant perfume. Daphne has a very distinctive smell, sweet, and very appealing :-)

 

For the "One of a kind" flower images project. Looking good!

 

Romans linked their gods to plants and flowers. When Apollo pursued Daphne, her father saves her by turning her into a laurel tree. Apollo in his grief declares, “With your leaves, my victors shall wreath their brows.” Daphne is the symbol for immortality, while the laurel symbolizes victory.
