FLOWERS – the rebirth
each flower has a an associative symbolism
“associative symbolism” means that man associated a particular flower to particular meaning
for example: tulip = symbol of love
however, there is also the “evocative symbolism”
or a symbolism that has not been decided
by man, but by nature
it’s the same for everyone
for all human beings the symbolism is the same, because it recalls the same identical feeling for all of us
for example: skull = death
and today I’m here to tell you: YES, an evocative symbolism for flowers is possible
all flowers, I mean, without distinctions of race, genus, group, subgroup, color, size, characteristics
no no
all flowers
and guess what it is?
the rebirth, obviously ^_^
flowers are the first sign that the plants give us when they restart their life cycle
when the plant is alive and well, and in its maximum splendor, it throws out flowers to let us know that it feels great
and shouts it out loud, with thousands of shiny colors and captivating smells
“here I am, can you see me? I went back shining,
after yet another winter, here I am, brighter than before”
a new cycle of creation and magnificence has begun
that moment of splendor
and rebirth has begun
after being in silence to plan, to destroy itself in order to restart
most flowers bloom in spring
there are some flowers that come first and bloom, I would say, almost at the end of winter
it’s a wake-up call that good weather is coming
these are shy but full of love flowers, such as violets, daffodils, lily of the valley…
then we see strong flowers that bloom in early spring and ring the big bells, such as the rose, the jasmine, the tulip…
then bold flowers come, full of grit and vigor, and they bloom in late spring, even in summer, such as poppy, magnolia, lavender
and then we have anarchist flowers,
that bloom in winter and don’t give a shit if everyone else
bloom in summer,
they like to bloom in winter and that’s what they do, full stop.
like snowdrops, hellebores, edelweiss
this is already an associative symbolism, but it also give you an extra cue to choose the type of flower that most represents the message you want to send
to you, or to others
with love, but always irriverent
