Posting white lily of the valley 🤍

For purity and humility.
For sweetness and the return of happiness.
For renewal and hope -
as the new year gently begins.

#LanguageofFlowers was popularized in #VictorianEngland 19thC. However, it comes from earlier #traditions in the #MiddleEast and #Turkey.

In this tradition, a #white #rose signifies #purity, #innocence, and #reverence—often used to express remembrance or new beginnings.

Joan's #dahlia SO beautiful.
"... in the #languageofflowers, a #reddahlia symbolizes #strength, #power, and #perseverance. #Dahlias also generally represent #elegance, #commitment, and a sense of #dignity, with red specifically emphasizing the recipient's ability to #risefromadversity.

An influx of Phlox, in the last days of summer 2025 where Chicago has had very strange variable weather. In the language of flowers, white phlox symbolizes faithfulness, unity, harmony and togetherness. #phlox #flower #languageofflowers
