BEAUTY in PURPLE… GLADIOLI
Gently sprinkled with pollen...
These are a beautiful soft purple.
The waiting buds only just peeping out.
Summer was slowly leaving us in a flurry of colour.
Named for the shape of their leaves, like blades, gladioli – from the Latin word “gladius,” meaning sword – have a history that spans from Africa to the Mediterranean.
Symbolising strength and moral integrity, gladioli also represent infatuation, with a bouquet conveying to a recipient that they pierce the giver’s heart with passion. How romantic!
Thank you for ALL your faves and comments, M, (* _ *)
