劍蘭最顯著的特征是它高大的劍狀尖頂 指向天空。當(dāng)這種獨特的植物從非洲和亞洲帶到歐洲時，它們被命名為角斗士，即死于劍下的古羅馬士兵。由于這種聯(lián)想，在維多利亞時期的花語中，劍蘭象征著為了愛情而“刺穿心扉”的浪漫姿態(tài)。優(yōu)雅的花朵也投射出節(jié)操和性格力量的含義。

鼓舞人心的信息：做正確的事并不總是容易的。但是你現(xiàn)在所召喚的力量建立在你正直的核心之上，這將在以后為你所做的一切的最高目標(biāo)服務(wù)。

Symbolism: ?Strength of Character & Moral Integrity

?

“Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved.”

—— Helen Keller

?

The most striking feature of the gladiola is its tall, sword-like spire pointing toward the heavens. When the distinctive plants were brought to Europe from Africa and Asia they were named for gladiators, ancient Roman soldiers who lived and died by the sword. Because of this association, in the Victorian Language of Flowers the gladiola symbolized the romantic gesture of figuratively “piercing one’s heart”for the sake of love. The elegant flowers also project the meaning of moral integrity and strength of character.

Inspirational Message:

Doing the right thing isn’t always easy. But the strength you summon now builds upon your core of integrity that will later serve your highest purpose in all that you do.
