I find that miracles happen in my garden every day.
It is always a blessing and moment in gratitude when I discover a new bloom!

The Language of Flowers: PLUMERIAS

Plumerias: frangipani

 The meaning and symbolism of a plumeria flower is perfection and protection. 

Blooming in the summer months with a sweet and strongly aromatic scent, these flowers come in an abundance of colors and sizes. Below are some new blooms in my garden this week.

THE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS: COMMUNICATION THROUGH THE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS HAS HAD MEANINGS FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS AND FLORIOGRAPHY (the language of flowers) BECAME POPULAR IN FRANCE IN 1810-1850.

"Daffodils signal new beginnings, daisies innocence. Lilacs mean the first emotions of love, periwinkles tender recollection. Early Victorians used flowers as a way to express their feelings—love or grief, jealousy or devotion. Now, modern-day romantics are enjoying a resurgence of this bygone custom, and this book will share the historical, literary, and cultural significance of flowers with a whole new generation. With lavish illustrations, a dual dictionary of flora and meanings, and suggestions for creating expressive arrangements, this keepsake is the perfect compendium for everyone who has ever given or received a bouquet."
