Like many red flowers, red chrysanthemums symbolize love and passion. If you're looking for blooms for an anniversary or Valentine's Day, take a break from roses and opt for red chrysanthemum flowers
If you are done playing safe with your color and fashion choices here in SL, let’s discuss the Sentintus Taylor Dress in black (aka a “little black dress”) and its symbolization when mixed with other colors.
The LBD is best known for its titillating color. It also radiates confidence and style. It is iconic with a complicated history.
I love the attention to detail that Hazan put into her fashion savvy Taylor Dress. So much so that I decided to have some fun with this dress by styling it with flashy red.
Evidence suggests that the combined colors of black and red may indeed increase attractiveness through different pathways. Studies also show that people display more red and black clothing when meeting a possible mate for the first time.
Flashy colors are now in trend and there’s nothing hotter than black and red together. That said, try on this Sentinus Taylor Dress but don’t forget to read the warning label inside about wearing it with red first.
The Taylor dress comes in structured sets of Black & Red, Black & Green, Black & Pink, Black & Blue, and Black & Yellow.
This Taylor Dress fits: Altmura, Maitreya, Isis, Legacy, Tonic Curvy (+ Fine), Slink Original, Slink Hourglass, and Venus mesh bodies.
The Sentinus Taylor Dress is now available at Swank’s "Wild Spring Event" for March 2023.

The Bund has this iconic view of new skyscrapers which may symbolize China of today. There is a wedding party every minute in April and May. The Bund is actually collections of some 50 historic buildings from former British Concession on the other side of Huangpu River. The new, ever changing view is only few decades old, starting with the rather kitschy, but unique Oriental Pearl TV Tower, the first building in Pudong (the east side of the river) in 1994. Before that, all this area with 5 million people was just farmer fields.

The lighthouse symbolizes many things. For me in this image, it is guidance and a warning that danger is near. So, this begs the question as we travel down our spiritual path, who or what is your Lighthouse? In Hinduism and Buddism, the word Atman is a reference to your essential self or soul. So, who guides your Atman or essential self? Happy New Year my friends.

The narcissus is the December birth flower and symbolizes good wishes, faithfulness and respect. The narcissus can often be confused with the daffodil, the birth flower for March, which is a type of narcissus. Although most narcissus flowers are spring flowers, there are several species that bloom in the winter, such as the paperwhite narcissus — making it appropriate as the birth flower for December.
The December birthday flower has a rich history. As a native of the Mediterranean, the narcissus was brought over to Asia where it became widely cultivated in China. From there, the narcissus made its way into Europe via European colonists and eventually made its way into North America. Today, the narcissus is mainly cultivated in Great Britain, Holland, and The Channel Isles.

Die Waterpoort in Sneek, Niederlande, ist eines der bekanntesten Wahrzeichen der Stadt. Hier ist eine kurze Geschichte und einige Details zu diesem architektonischen Juwel:
Geschichte der Waterpoort
Die Waterpoort (Wassertor) wurde 1613 als Teil der Stadtbefestigung errichtet.
Ursprünglich diente sie als Tor in der Stadtmauer und ermöglichte den Zugang zur Stadt Sneek über das Wasser. Sneek war damals ein bedeutendes Handels- und Schifffahrtszentrum in Friesland.
Das Tor ist ein klassisches Beispiel der niederländischen Renaissance-Architektur mit zwei achteckigen Türmen, die durch einen Bogen über dem Wasser verbunden sind.
Das charakteristische Design vereint sowohl defensive als auch dekorative Elemente und symbolisiert den Reichtum und die Bedeutung von Sneek während seines goldenen Handelszeitalters.

The Magnolia is one of the flowering shrubs and trees that symbolizes spring. The blooming of the Magnolia with its beautiful and wonderfully fragrant flowers announces spring!
The Magnolia tree is more than 100 million years old. And originally comes from China. The tree stands for purity. At Buddhist temples, there are Magnolias on either side of the entrance.
Traditionally, the Magnolia has been used in Chinese folk medicine. The leaves contain a lot of Honokiol and Magnolol. Substances that have a stress and anxiety reducing effect. They strongly reduce the cortisol level (cortisol is the stress hormone). The Magnolia is also known as a strong antioxidant.
For the theme "minimalism" . This symbolizes how we like to keep our holidays in the great outdoors. Simple. How I am striving to declutter our home. Then to clear our mind. Even when considering an edit on this ICM image of a sunset, I kept it minimal. Happy Crazy Tuesday! Keep it simple.
They are Christmas flowers, but white poinsettias symbolize a new beginning and a new stage, just like the first blanket of snow of the year that covers the ground today.

From shadow to light in the heart of the Amethyst - Auvergne - France - Europe
Le nom de cette pierre semi-précieuse est d’origine grecque. Methystos signifie l’ivresse, le préfixe -a indique la privation. Améthyste fait donc référence à la sobriété. Mais pourquoi le nom de ce minéral est-il lié à l’absence d’ivresse ?
Dans la mythologie grecque, Amethystos est le nom d’une nymphe. Dionysos, dieu du vin et de l’ivresse la désirait mais celle-ci souhaitait rester chaste et refusa ses avances. La déesse Artémis transforma alors Amethystos en cristal dur et froid, la protégeant ainsi des mauvaises intentions de Dionysos. Fou de colère, Dionysos renversa son verre de vin sur ce cristal. Celui-ci prit alors une couleur d’un violet intense.
Les Grecs et les Romains connaissaient bien cette histoire mythologique. C’est pourquoi pour prévenir l’ivresse, ils buvaient dans des coupes en améthyste. Durant l’Antiquité chez les Égyptiens, cette pierre servait également pour faire tomber la pluie en cas de sécheresse. Symbole d’abondance et de chance, l’Améthyste était signe de bonne fortune si elle apparaissait en rêves pour le peuple Hébreu.
Pour les Chrétiens, l’Améthyste devient symbole de pureté et d’humilité lorsque Joseph offre une bague sertie d’une Améthyste à Marie. Cette pierre symbolise également l’amour. Saint Valentin, prêtre à l’origine de la fête des amoureux, portait une Améthyste autour du cou. Autre signification pour les Chrétiens, celle de la fidélité. En effet, les Évêques du Vatican portent un anneau orné d’une Améthyste. Ce bijou symbolise leur dévouement à L’Église, et les symboliques liées à l’Améthyste renforcent cette union.
Au temps de la Renaissance italienne, Léonard de Vinci utilisait l’Améthyste pour dissiper ses pensées négatives. Cette pierre lui permettait également de booster son intelligence novatrice. Il vente d’ailleurs l’utilisation de cette pierre dans un de ses carnets.
Autrefois, les principaux gisements de l’Améthyste se situaient en Inde. Aujourd’hui, on trouve des gisements d’Améthyste partout dans le monde. Les plus importants sont au Brésil et en Uruguay. Mais des gisements existent également en France, en Auvergne par exemple.
-------------------
The name of this semi-precious stone is of Greek origin. Methystos means drunkenness, the prefix -a indicates deprivation. Amethyst therefore refers to sobriety. But why is the name of this mineral linked to freedom from drunkenness?
In Greek mythology, Amethystos is the name of a nymph. Dionysus, god of wine and drunkenness wanted her, but she wanted to remain chaste and refused her advances. The goddess Artemis then transformed Amethystos into hard and cold crystal, thus protecting her from Dionysus' evil intentions. Mad with anger, Dionysus spilled his glass of wine on this crystal. This then took on an intense purple color.
The Greeks and Romans were familiar with this mythological story. Therefore, to prevent drunkenness, they drank from amethyst cups. During ancient times among the Egyptians, this stone was also used to make rain fall during drought. A symbol of abundance and luck, the Amethyst was a sign of good fortune if it appeared in dreams to the Hebrew people.
For Christians, the Amethyst becomes a symbol of purity and humility when Joseph offers a ring set with an Amethyst to Mary. This stone also symbolizes love. Saint Valentine, the priest behind the feast of lovers, wore an Amethyst around his neck. Another meaning for Christians is that of fidelity. In fact, the Bishops of the Vatican wear a ring adorned with an Amethyst. This jewel symbolizes their dedication to The Church, and the symbols related to Amethyst reinforce this union.
During the Italian Renaissance, Leonardo da Vinci used Amethyst to dispel his negative thoughts. This stone also allowed him to boost his innovative intelligence. He also sells the use of this stone in one of his notebooks.
In the past, the main deposits of Amethyst were in India. Today, Amethyst deposits are found all over the world. The most important are in Brazil and Uruguay. But deposits also exist in France, in Auvergne for example.
