Flowers and Our Personality! ~ A Tribute To All Mothers

Do all people love flowers? Maybe yes. The simple reason is that flowers symbolizes many things in our life, they portray our attitudes and personalities. This morning, I tried to search my topic discussed 1 year ago at my favorite social network. I asked them to associate themselves to a flower. Well, I enjoyed their responses. There was one who inspired me of her wonderful answer. She was a loving wife of her late husband, and a caring mother to his son. And what made me cannot really forget her is that, she is more than 80 years old doing all these things especially over the internet to get some sum of money for her living. I quoted several responses from my discussion:

“Hi prime wow primrose [Primrose Flower] oh they are so pretty and here in Ca [California] you can really grow them too. I think that as I love lilacs [Lilac Flower] and lavender, my flower is the Lilac which blooms in big clumps of lovely lavender blossoms and smells so good too , also it is hardy and tough, and will bloom over an over year after year. it is a survivor type of shrub and keeps on keeping on. I am that way too. It fortells spring in a lot of states and as spring is my favorite season yes I am a lilac, making people happy with my fragrance and happy with my pretty lilac blooms.yep I am a Lilac.” Said Hatley.

“i just learned that in the symbology of flowers purple lilac stands for the beginning of love, also its botannical name Syringa comes from a Greek myth where a beautiful maiden named Syringa was loved and chased by Pan and being really frightened by him she changed herself in to the Lilac Bush that we know today. so guess I learned something and also made a good choice in my own flower.” Said Hatley.

“Hi hatley...Oh yes I searched for Lilac, I love the flower too and see? It matches the color of your avatar (her mylot.com avatar). It has a generous bunch of perfect flowers. I can tell that it really fits your personality. Strong. Kind. Generous. That's great hatley. So from now on that is your flower I guess. Have you tried to grow some in your ornamental garden??? Beginning of love!! Oh wonderful! I [am] happy for you for choosing that. God bless hatley.” I responded her.

I missed her, she was a good friend of mine at mylot, the social site I was addicted of… she was that old, but see? She was strong and determined to do things other young people could do. She was just like my mother at the virtual world.

The following quote got my best response, why?

“I like to be a sampaguita flower. This flower symbolizes
purity, devotion, dedication, fedelity [fidelity] and strength.
I would like to be pure, devoted, dedicated and all.
I want to be so fragrant to anybody or [I] mean be friends
to anyone. Like the sweet aroma of this national [national] flower.
Quiet funny but just wishing I am hahahah.
Sampaguita, the national flower of Philippines, is grown in the tropics, mostly for its rich fragrance.
Sampaguita (scientific name Jasminum sambac) is a species of the genus jasmine and is widely grown as an ornamental plant. This species is native to southern Asia, India and Sri Lanka. The Sampaguita plant is a semi-climbing, evergreen shrub that reaches to a height of 1-3 meter. Leaves are simple, ovate and are arranged, either on opposite sides or in whorls of three. Sampaguita flower is white in color and is produced either singly or in clusters of three or more, at times twelve. The flower opens at night and withers within 2 days. Occasionally, purple-black fruits are formed.”
