Flowers
I was reading this Ebook about close up photography... And I saw this flower that I think is BEAUTIFUL!And then I decided to research about flowers... Cuz I'm half awake... Lol...
My birth flower: Rose
Long a symbol of love and passion, the rose is rich with history and meaning. Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, presented a rose to Eros, and Cleopatra lured Mark Antony with a room knee-deep in rose petals. Though each color offers a distinct meaning – and the number of stems offers a singular message – this June birth flower signifies beauty and perfection.
Doesn't really describe me though...
Flower that I like: Grape Hyacinth
Symbolizing sport or play in the language of flowers, hyacinth represent constancy, while blue hyacinth expresses sincerity and constancy.
I also like February's flower...
FEBRUARY: IRIS
It should come as no surprise that the iris's three upright petals symbolize faith, valor and wisdom. With its majestic purple hues and soaring slender stem, this dignified and graceful February birth flower dates back to Ancient Greece, when Iris, the messenger of the gods and the personification of the rainbow (the Greek word for Iris), acted as the link between heaven and earth
Another flower that I like: Tulip
The meaning of tulips is generally perfect love. Like many flowers, different colors of tulips also often carry their own significance. Red tulips are most strongly associated with true love, while purple symbolizes royalty. The meaning of yellow tulips has evolved somewhat, from once representing hopeless love to now being a common expression for cheerful thoughts and sunshine. White tulips are used to claim worthiness or to send a message of forgiveness. Variegated tulips, once among the most popular varieties due to their striking color patterns, represent beautiful eyes.
I love the pink and yellow varieties... They are so "Just Nice"... Lol... Not too big, not too small, not too perfect, not too "jum-po-rojak"... Lol...
