LOST AND FOUND! I
found this design in my files that apparently I have never shared! I hope this brings some sunshine and
happiness to you day!
Daisy Dawn - A Daisy symbolizes innocence and purity. It can
also symbolize new beginnings. The flower meaning of daisy is “loyal love”and
“I will never tell”. The daisy is also the birth flower for April.
The word daisy comes from the Old English word dægeseage,
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 the sacred flower of the Norse Goddess of love,
beauty and fertility, Freya. The daisy
embodies childbirth, motherhood and new beginnings.
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!
The columbine has many meanings from love, desire, faith,
winning and foolishness.
The columbine flower symbolizes love and is associated with
the ancient Greeks and Roman goddess of love Aphrodite/Venus, the goddesses of
love. It is also connected with the Norse goddess of love Freya. It is said in
Swedish folklore that the blossoms were made into potion and given to arouse
brides on their wedding night.
In Celtic legend the columbines were a portal from the
spiritual world to this world.
Austrians associate the columbine with five doves in a
circle because that is what they see looking at this flower.
In the Victorian era this flower was associated with winning
and gifting this flower meant you were determined to win something or someone’s
affections.
They symbolism of foolishness is derived from is looks of a
court jester’s hat.
Symmetry is another manifestation of the balance of Yin and
Yang, of the unimpeded flow of ch'i.
