Floriography - Iris & Stargazer Lily

-

 


The Floriography craze was introduced to Europe by two people: Englishwoman Mary Wortley Montagu (1689–1762), who brought it to England in 1717, and Aubry de La Mottraye (1674–1743), who introduced it to the Swedish court in 1727.

During the Victorian era and earlier bouquets were sent with specific flowers to send messages to the receivers. Specifically lovers - they  could not speak to each other privily so to express their love, flowers were sent back and forth. You could also send flowers to congratulate births, anniversaries, celebrating achievements and the wedding bouquet. 

A wedding bouquet is considered to bring happiness and satisfaction in marriage, while the ribbon with which the bouquet is tied symbolizes fellowship. A tradition of wearing decorations (usually made of the same flowers) on a groom's lapel first appeared in the Middle Ages.

Floriography is the language of flowers. 


Let’s learn the language of flowers so we can also understand why we appreciate and grow lots of them! 



Iris - Good News

perennials plants, growing for rhizomes that need to be split every couple of years. Iris grows really well in arid mountain, areas. I grew purple and blue iris while living in Colorado. Beautiful plants. Iris flowers have been symbols for flags, banners, the fleur de lis  is the emblem for the house of Capet. 

 

IRIS daughter of Thomas and the ocean nymph Electra & is the goddess of the rainbow and a messenger of the Olympian gods. ... For the coastal-dwelling Greeks, the rainbow's arc was most often seen spanning the distance between cloud and sea, and so the goddess was believed to replenish the rain-clouds with water from the sea.


Here are two other flowers that can go in a bouquet with Iris -

Chamomile - Courage 

This Bouquet could be saying  - Congratulations on your good health & wellbeing! 


Stargazer Lily - Abundance

Oriental lilies are known for their fragrant perfume, blooming mid-to-late summer. ... The 'Stargazer' lily was created in 1974 by Leslie Woodriff, a lily breeder in California, to overcome this downward look. Woodriff called the new cross 'Stargazer', because the blooms faced towards the sky.

  Archangel Michael & Archeia Faith Archangels and angels are created to serve the Creator and Mankind. In other words the angels are our helpers, they help us, by different kinds of guidance. When you receive guidance, remember to say thank you.  You do not have to elaborate, leave offerings or anything like that as the Angels were created to assist our Creator and us Humans, Be polite, say thank you.  Archeia are the divine feminine Archangels. Most of the archeia are compliments for Archangels.  Remember not to humanize Angels. They are Angels, we are humans, totally different living beings.  The angels do not punish, or force a way of being. Angels assist us with raising our resonance. Angels are not religious, they are love.  You don’t need to worship the angels to accept guidance for you.  All you have to do is say thank you.  Archangel Michael & Archeia Faith are the Archangels in charge of the Guardian angels.

Gratitude - Gratitude, thankfulness or gratefulness, from the Latin word gratus "pleasing, thankful", is a feeling of appreciation felt by and/or similar positive response shown by the recipient of kindness, gifts, help, favors, or other types of generosity, to the giver of said gifts.  The difference between Gratitude & Thankful  The Oxford Dictionary defines the word thankful as “pleased and relieved.” Both of those are great feelings. ... The Oxford Dictionary defines the word grateful as “showing an appreciation of kindness.” This is where the difference lies; being thankful is a feeling, and being grateful is an action.  When I lived in Colorado, my friend Vicki taught me about being present with my gratitudes.

As word smiths we were able to write some pretty lines, lines that resonated with us to help us with ...

A couple of weeks ago I had a very interesting conversation with one of my colleagues. We were discussing the different rates that some of some of the different energy workers.  There seems to be some who have opinions that rates may be exorbitant with some of the healers, energy workers or mediums. I gave myself a few days to think about the conversation and get clear on what I thought about the differences in rates. My opinion is those with integrity and get results should charge what they feel is appropriate.  The Equal Exchange of Energy - Remember? There may be some rates are so high that the middle class or lessor cannot afford them. What if this energy work is just for those of the upper class? Maybe this expensive energy work is for those people who assist with 'making our world a better place?' I am thankful for this.  Perhaps this energy work will help those who make great decisions for the masses, instead of just for the self. Does that make sen...
