purple bowl...

...of flower knowledge

isn't it lovely? nature's natural design - shaped especially for me - long-fingered blossoms, reaching up towards the desire to learn - increase awareness - which fits perfectly with my current theme of personal growth...

here are some nifty things i found out about purple flowers:

-purple is a natural flower color - a very popular color for bouquets
-definitely the color of power and luxury - but it's also associated with good judgment as well as spiritual fulfillment
-since purple stimulates peace of mind - it's tended to be used in meditation
-most children love it - however adults either love it or hate it... (personally, purple is one of my favorite colors)
-purple flowers represent the elements of dignity - pride - success
-popular purple flowers include irises - alliums - salvias - petunias - columbines - violets - hydrangeas - lilies

more tidbits for you flowery delight - if nothing else, this will put me on the hunt for some of these names come summer time - so i'll be better versed in associating the name of the flower with the color purple - perhaps being able to even identify that which i've posted here- and so on that note - it's made for...

a

happy day.....
