20 Hyacinth 风信子

象征主义：开玩笑 玩耍

“玩耍是通往童年快乐和成年辉煌的御道。

--约瑟夫·奇尔顿·皮尔斯

风信子的名字和它与游戏有关的意思是从希腊青年，风信子，阿波罗的童年伙伴。根据神话，阿波罗正在教Hyacinth如何扔铁饼。风神Zephyrus嫉妒起来，把铁饼吹向风信子，击中了他的头部并杀死了他。从他的血里长出了红色的风信子。尽管这是一个悲伤的故事，但对维多利亚时代的人来说，这朵花具有积极和轻松的意义。粉红色的风信子特别与初春的年轻人玩耍联系在一起。

鼓舞人心的信息：每天花点时间去享受轻松愉快的生活。从工作中休息一下，简单地起身走动。赤脚到外面去，感受脚趾间的青草。旋转，让风带走你的烦恼。一个顽皮的态度会给你做的每件事注入更多的精力。

Symbolism:  Playfulness

“Play is the royal road to childhood happiness and adult brilliance.”

—— Joseph Chilton Pearce

The hyacinth received its name and its meaning related to play from the Greek youth, Hyacinthus, the childhood companion of Apollo. According to myth, Apollo was showing Hyacinthus how to throw the discus. The wind god Zephyrus grew jealous and blew the discus toward Hyacinthus, hitting him in the head and killing him. From his blood grew the red hyacinth. In spite of the sad tale, to the Victorians the flower had a positive and light-hearted meaning. Pink hyacinths are especially associated with youthful play in early springtime.

Inspirational Message:

Take time each day for light-hearted fun. Take a break from work and simply get up and move. Go outside barefoot and feel the grass between your toes. Twirl around and let the wind take your troubles away. A playful attitude will infuse everything you do with more energy.
