BEEfriend Before and After





πŸ‘€ BEFORE AND AFTER – A NEW DESIGN! πŸ‘€ 
🐝BEEfriend πŸ– This is a tricolored bumblebee AKA Orange Belted bumblebee on a πŸ€white clover πŸ€ I let clover grow wild in my yard as there are so many creatures that rely on its nutrients from the pollinators to deer, fox, bunnies and geese! I love all bees but the orange belted is my favorite. They are so friendly and docile and I adore his colors. I will have three more designs of this bee I will be sharing over the next few weeks.
🐝Bee Meaning and Symbolism – Many cultures honor the bee and it is noted in many ancient cultures and mythologies. My favorite of course is the ancient Greek Goddess of Bees, Melissa. Melissa means honeybee in Greek and she also cared for the infant Zeus. She was turned into a beautiful bee by Zeus.
In ancient Egypt bees were a symbol of royalty and supremacy.
🐝The Chinese consider designs of a bee sitting on a flower to represent courtship, marriage and love. They also these design to represent a maiden’s purity and fertility due to the bee’s pollination ability. The Chinese culture also considers the bee to represent cheerfulness, fortuity, affluence and harmony.
🐝The overall symbolism of bees include: Love, Life, Order, Development, Knowledge, Beauty, Family, Happiness, Mystery, Sweetness, Nurturing, Community, Efficiency and Communication.

πŸ€The White Clover plant was held in high regards to the Celts of Wales. No clover plant regularly produces four-leaf clovers which is one reason why they are so rare. Each leaf of the clover symbolizes a piece of tradition; one is for Faith, one for Hope, one for Love and the fourth for Luck.

My Love Blooms Eternal – A daisy pansy petunia lily the valley hyacinths on a bed of ferns mandala suncatcher.


The flower symbolism associated with the daisy is purity, innocence, loyal love, beauty, patience and simplicity and new beginnings.

The word daisy comes from the Old English word dΓ¦geseage, meaning "day's eye".   The daisy was thusly named because at night the petals close over the yellow center and during the day they re-open or “awaken”.  This is how the fun saying “as fresh as a daisy” was created; it infers that someone had a restful sleep.

The daisy is actually two flowers in one, called a composite flower.  The yellow center is called the disc floret and the outer petals are the ray floret.  Because they are actually two flower in one, blending it such beautiful harmony the also symbolize true love!

Pansies symbolize merriment, thoughtfulness, remembrance and love.  The pansy is also considered a flower of remembrance, togetherness and union. Pansies help evoke fond memories of our loved ones. It is believed if a pansy is placed over someone’s eyes while sleeping, upon waking that person will fall in love with the first person to appear.

Grape hyacinths (also known as mucsari) symbolize playful joy.  Specifically blue hyacinths symbolize sincerity.
Petunias express your desire to spend time with someone because you find their company soothing and peaceful.

The lily of the valley represents sweetness and the return of happiness. It can also symbolize humility. When the lily of the valley blooms, happiness is said to return.


Symmetry is another manifestation of the balance of Yin and Yang, of the unimpeded flow of ch'i

BEFORE AND AFTER

Mesmerizing Memories - This is a bouquet of forget-me-nots place on an orange gladioli. 

The forget-me-not symbolizes sincere and everlasting love, faithful love even through tribulations, and a timeless bond.  The forget-me-not is said to bring fond memories you shared with someone.  It is also a symbol to be mindful of the ones you love in life and to create perpetual joyful memories while you are blessed to have them in your life.

There is a German myth about a couple taking a romantic stroll along the Danube River.  They spot the beautiful blue blooms of the forget-me-not.  The handsome and romantic gent attempts to pick a bouquet for his love, but tragically slips and is swept away by the river’s fierce current.  As he is carried away by the current he cries out to her, “Forget me not my love!”  It is believed this is how the flower was named.

The Gladioli symbolizes strength and integrity.  It also represents infatuation.  If you gift a gladioli to someone one you are telling them that have injected your heart with passion.  The gladioli is a flower of drama.  I thought it was a good pairing with the forget-me-nots.

Enllightened One






Enlightened One –

In China and In Buddhist symbolism the lotus is symbolic of
purity of the body, speech, and mind as while rooted in the mud, its flowers blossom on long stalks as if floating above the muddy waters of attachment and desire. It is also symbolic of detachment as drops of water easily slide off its petals.  The lotus is the flower of the sixth month and summer. Lotus blossoms are often depicted as a throne for the Buddha, and the lotus is one of the Eight Auspicious Symbols of Buddhism.

The lotus closes at night and sinks underwater. In the morning it 
re-emerges and blooms again. Thus the flower became a natural symbol of the sun and creation.

In Japan the lotus is bigger than life, bigger than you and
me. But you too can grasp the essence of the lotus. The lotus flower is revered in Japan for its ability to rise from the dirty, murky waters to bloom into a beautiful pure flower. This process symbolizes attaining enlightenment.

The Egyptians also revered the lotus flower and it symbolized sun and creation.

Of course the lotus is also associated with the seventh
chakra, the Crown Chakra In Sanskrit it is called Sahasrara, which translates to thousand petaled lotus.
