Some of the popular plants would be pussy willows, cherry blossoms, lime plants, bamboo shoots and money trees.

I'm not sure how true this is but it is believed that twisted bamboos will make a person’s luck changed from bad to a good one.

Pussy willows are thought to symbolize goodwill and motherhood. They are also considered to represent protection for the home. We took these flowers while on one of our walks in Salzburg last year.

Used to be a lot of Pussy Willow around my area in OZ but they seem to have disappeared. What an unusal way for Bamboo to grow quite freaky. Once again fantastic photos keep 'em coming.
ReplyDeleteI wanna get all four of these plants. :D
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colorful photos! I like all of these plants and the symbolism is fun to learn.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't t be good, if these superstitions were more than mere fantasy. If keeping these flowers and plants nearby actually brought about the positive changes they are alleged to make. I'd be off to the florists in haste.
ReplyDeleteStill I love the sentiments expressed and the sight of them, like a great panacea, these flowers. Thanks.
So many gorgeous plants and flowers! You can't help but smile when you see so much beauty! Your photos are so superb as always! And the symbolism is fun to read as well! Thank you for sharing these! Have a wonderful week!
