27 Nasturtium 金縷梅

象征主義：勝利與征服

“控制別人的人也許有力量，但控制自己的人更有力量。”

-老子

整株金縷梅花包括花，葉和種子都是可食用的。這個(gè)名字是從拉丁語(yǔ)“鼻子扭曲”翻譯過(guò)來(lái)的，指的是這種植物辛辣的胡椒味。有幾個(gè)故事可以解釋為什么金縷梅與勝利聯(lián)系在一起。林奈把這種植物命名為金縷梅（tropaeolum），因?yàn)樗J(rèn)為這種頭盔狀的花酷似戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)勝利的戰(zhàn)利品。同時(shí)，最早在墨西哥和南美發(fā)現(xiàn)金縷梅的歐洲人也是征服者，因此金縷梅就成了征服的象征。

?

鼓舞人心的信息：即使是最卑微的花朵也要提醒你，你所經(jīng)歷的最偉大的勝利可能是別人從未見(jiàn)過(guò)的微小的勝利。征服那些自我懷疑的內(nèi)心聲音是你個(gè)人成長(zhǎng)的第一步。

Symbolism: ?Victory & Conquest

?

“He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still.”

—— Lao Tzu

?

The entire nasturtium plant is edible including its flowers, leaves and seeds. The name translates from the Latin phrase “nose-twister”a reference to the plants’pungent, peppery taste. There are several stories that explain why the nasturtium is associated with victory. Linnaeus named the plant tropaeolum because he thought the helmet-shaped flowers resembled the trophies of battlefield victory. Also, the first Europeans to discover nasturtiums in Mexico and South America were conquistadors, thus the plant came to symbolize conquest.

Inspirational Message:

Let even the humblest of flowers remind you that the greatest victories you experience may be the small ones no one else ever sees. Conquering those inner voices of self-doubt is the first step forward in your personal growth.
