26 Morning Glory 牵牛花

象征主义：情感与决心

“花开一日的牵牛花，与活了千年的巨松，心无分别。”

--艾伦·瓦茨

曲曲折折的牵牛花藤上的每一朵花只开一天。黄昏使天空变暗，花儿都卷曲着过夜。第二天早晨，每一棵葡萄树上都有新的生长和更多荣耀的花朵。在维多利亚时代的花语中，长着顽强卷须的牵牛花与爱情和亲情联系在一起。在中国的传说中，牵牛花象征着两个传奇恋人的决心，即使他们的父母用一条宽阔的河流将他们分开，他们还是决心要见面。

鼓舞人心的信息：当生活变得充满挑战时，记住牵牛花，对它来说没有什么是障碍。栅栏或围墙只是给柔嫩但坚毅的藤蔓一个新的生长的地方和另一个向太阳爬得更高的理由。

Symbolism:  Affection & Determination

“The morning glory, which blooms for a day, differs not at heart from the giant pine that lives for a thousand years.”

—— Alan Watts

Each flower on the meandering morning glory vine blooms only for a single day. As dusk darkens the sky, the flowers all curl up for the night. The very next morning brings fresh growth and the promise of yet more glorious flowers upon each vine. In the Victorian Language of Flowers, the morning glory with its tenacious tendrils was associated with love and affection. In Chinese lore, the morning glory symbolized the determination of two legendary lovers who resolved to meet even after their parents separated them with a wide river.

Inspirational Message:

When life becomes challenging, remember the morning glory, for which nothing is an obstacle. A fence or wall simply gives the tender but determined vine a new place to grow and another reason to climb higher toward the sun.
