The language of flowers has been recognized for centuries in many countries throughout Europe and Asia. They even play a large role in William Shakespeare’s works. This practice is called floriography.
Mythologies, folklore, sonnets, and plays of the ancient Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, and Chinese are filled with flower and plant symbolism

Whether you’re giving flowers to a mother for Mother’s Day, a friend on their birthday, or a beloved this Valentine’s Day, nearly every sentiment imaginable can be expressed with flowers. The meaning of a flower can depend on its color, type, and the sentiment behind the gift. The orange blossom, for instance, means chastity, purity, and loveliness, while the red rose means “I Love You! ❤️. So, consider sending your Valentines Day message to your special someone in flowers. 💐🌷🌹🪻

Examples of flowers and their meanings:
Red rose: Love, passion, beauty
White violet: Innocence
Purple violet: Love
Aster: Wisdom, devotion, love
Calla lily: Purity, passion, elegance
Chrysanthemum: Loyalty, love, friendship, joy, honesty
Daffodil: Rebirth, new beginnings
Daisy: Innocence, purity, new beginnings
Lily: Purity, virtue, devotion
Orchid: Exotic beauty, strength
Peony: Prosperity, good fortune
Tulip: Perfect love, elegance
Sunflower: Adoration, loyalty

So I just needed to add a little
color to my home. Our Airbnb will have guests this weekend and the outside needed some love. I found these little Evergreens for $7./ per and then just pansies. They aren’t even planted just set in place till I have time to plant. Add some straw and so beautiful. So this is the Greenlady, saying get out there enjoy your gardens and “Getcha Hands Dirty!”

My Viburnum this past summer…. I have to transplant it because it’s too big for its location!🥴 But it was stunning this year!

My sister in law made this beautiful gourd! Can’t wait to display it for the holidays!

Making little Chefs out of them… such goofballs!🤣

So I have diatomaceous earth on my cabbages and broccoli, which is just crushed seashells to keep away the cabbage worm. Also, using slug bait which keeps away snails, keeping your eye on your crops will let you eat the crops and not the other critters. I am able to keep the big guys out with an enclosed garden, but here is my winter garden so far! Don’t give up it takes ingenuity and being creative to keep up on your veggie gardens!💚🌶️🥕🥬🍆🍠🥔🧄🧅🫑
