TENDERNESS... ROSE and BUD

 

The language of flowers, sometimes called floriography.

Meaning has been attributed to flowers for thousands of years, and some form of floriography has been practised in traditional cultures throughout Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

The ~Language of Flowers~ originated in Persia in the 15th century, and was brought to Europe in the 18th century. In the 19th century, this ~floral code~ became popular and people sent messages in bouquets to each other.

Since each flower, colour, and number had a specific meaning, conversations between lovers took place without a single word being used.

Roses are the perfect gifts to convey your emotions.

 

White roses symbolise reverence and humility.

In American culture, the white roses symbolise security and happiness and are used for weddings.

The white rose is also known as the ~Flower of Light.~

There are plenty of myths and legends behind the white rose.

As one myth has it, the first rose on Earth was a white rose, and it miraculously transformed to other hues.

The pure white rose was said to have been tainted by blood, making it red; and it was also made to blush from a kiss, making it pink.

 

Another myth came from the Ancient Greeks.

It was said that roses were originally white until one day Aphrodite the Goddess of Love and Beauty pricked herself with the thorns of a rose.

The blood that dripped from her finger turned the white roses red.

These myths indicate the loss of innocence, which is the absolute opposite of what the white rose symbolises ñ innocence and purity

 

THANX, have a great day, M, (*_*)
