35 Snapdragon 金魚草
象征:親切和仁慈
“任何善舉,無論多么微小,都不會白費。

金魚草最早是在意大利和西班牙發(fā)現(xiàn)的野生植物。在維多利亞時代的英國,金魚草傳達(dá)著優(yōu)雅和仁慈。如果一位紳士送給一位女士一束金魚草,那是對她性格和善良的贊美。龍一樣的花朵也被認(rèn)為有神秘的力量,可以驅(qū)除邪惡和不幸。金魚草作為喬遷的禮物,也作為對盛情款待的感謝。
?
鼓舞人心的信息:對我們最愛和最關(guān)心的人和藹可親是很容易的。但真正的恩典和仁慈會延伸到那些我們不認(rèn)識的人,有時甚至延伸到那些我們可能不太喜歡的人。

Symbolism: ?Graciousness & Benevolence
?
“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.”
—— Aesop
?
Snapdragons were first discovered growing wild in Italy and Spain. In Victorian England, the snapdragon communicated grace and benevolence. If a gentleman gave a lady a bouquet containing snapdragons, it was a compliment to her character and her kindness. The dragon-like blossoms were also believed to have mystical powers that warded off evil and misfortune. Snapdragons were given as housewarming gifts as well as tokens of gratitude for gracious and kind hospitality.

Inspirational Message:
It is easy to be kind and gracious with the people we love and care most about. But true grace and benevolence extend to those we do not know and sometimes even to those we may not much like.
