The poppy = SUCCESS “Successful in whose eyes?” The Poppy has long represented eternal sleep. Greeks and Romans used these orange and red flowers as offerings to the dead – Westerners emblazon them on tombstones. A gift of poppies from a loved one is unsettling. Does it ask, “Lose consciousness?” We know The Poppy as…

The daffodil = ENLIGHTENMENT “You can if you think you can” The Daffodil shares the just born freshness of babies, kittens and lambs. A daffodil is hope. They insist on coming up just when we are so sick of winter we don’t think we can ever go outdoors again; and there they are, waving bravely…

The Rose = VULNERABILITY “Vulnerability: shaming flaw, character fault or superpower?” The Rose is begging to be touched; it attracts our lustful gaze with its hypnotic beauty.

Hummingbird = THE SOUL “Love is Eternal” “Hope is the thing with feathers.”-Emily Dickinson Hummingbirds are impossible. They can fly backwards, forwards and upside down. They can move their wings in a figure 8. The blinding whir of fast-moving iridescent feathers creates the “hum” that gave them their name. Hummingbirds have fast metabolisms and must…

Wildflowers = BEAUTY “Can you now recognize beauty where you once saw chaos?” What if a garden yearned not for care but to be ravished by wilderness?

Sunflowers = SPIRITUALITY “Our Auras Connect” The Sunflower cranes its black eye skyward. “Golden wings mirror heaven, petalled glories feed multitudes.” In the language of flowers “Helianthus” is a symbol of wealth and success.

56. ART = Birdsong “Express your emotions the better to understand them” We are not the only Creators in the Garden. We are surrounded by nest-makers and musical artists without whose Birdsong we would be tragically impoverished. Birds sing for the same reasons we do; to celebrate, to warn, to differentiate. To bond, and for…
