30 Phlox 福禄考花
象征主义:一致与和谐
“与自己和谐相处者,与宇宙和谐相处。”
--马库斯·奥勒留斯
福禄考花在希腊语中是“火焰”的意思,自古以来,福禄考花就被人们所珍视。老普林尼在他的《农业百科全书》中有关于福禄考的描述。福禄考原产于北美洲,长期以来被美洲土著人用于装饰,烹饪和草药。1725年,欧洲人在切尔西植物园被引入福禄考,人们立即被它的魅力和令人愉悦的香味所吸引。由于福禄考的许多花簇紧密相连,福禄考就成了一致与和谐的象征。
鼓舞人心的信息:一朵花不能构成一束花。单凭一个声音无法创造和谐。当你在团结中工作,把你自己的激情的火焰与他人,能量和才能结合在一起时,你所能完成的是令人惊奇的。
Symbolism: Unanimity & Harmony
“He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe.”
—— Marcus Aurelius
From the Greek word for “flame”, the phlox flower has been cherished since ancient times. Pliny the Elder included a description of phlox in his encyclopedia of agriculture. Phlox are indigenous to North America and have long been utilized by Native Americans for decoration, cooking and herbal medicine. Europeans were introduced to phlox in 1725 at the Chelsea Botanic Gardens, where people were immediately taken with its charm and delightful fragrance. Because of the close clusters of its many flowerets, the phlox came to symbolize unanimity and harmony.
Inspirational Message:
One single flower does not make a bouquet. One voice alone cannot create harmony. It’s amazing what you can accomplish when you work in unity, combining the flames of your own passion with others’energy and talents.
