If I’m honest, I’ve recently been feeling pretty down. I had some not great news recently and I’m trying to keep focused on the bright side of things. I’ll share two of my favorite flowers with you tonight. White water lilies can represent peace and purity, but they also can represent resilience and rebirth, as they push their way through mud and water to bloom on the waters surface. Purple irises meanwhile, symbolize wisdom, courage, and hope. To anyone feeling down today too, I hope that things start to look up for you. May you come out of whatever you’re going through stronger and wiser. I wish you the best of luck for a bright future.

Croci coming up in Newcastle!

In the Victorian language of flowers, the crocus meant gladness and cheerfulness. White croci represented truth, innocence and purity. The purple variety implied success, pride and dignity. The yellow type meant joy.

There's an episode of Fabulous Folklore dedicated to the crocus!
