Dogwood Flower

The inflorescence of the Pacific dogwood (Cornus nuttallii) is the official flower of the province of British Columbia. The flowering dogwood (Cornus florida) and its inflorescence are the state tree and the state flower respectively for the U.S. Commonwealth of Virginia. It is also the state tree of Missouri and the state flower of North Carolina and the state memorial tree of New Jersey.

A Christian legend of unknown origin proclaims that the cross used to crucify Jesus was constructed of dogwood. As the story goes, during the time of Jesus, the dogwood was larger and stronger than it is today and was the largest tree in the area of Jerusalem. After his crucifixion, Jesus changed the plant to its current form: he shortened it and twisted its branches to ensure an end to its use for the construction of crosses. He also transformed its inflorescence into a representation of the crucifixion itself, with the four white bracts cross-shaped representing the four corners of the cross, each bearing a rusty indentation as of a nail, the red stamens of the flower representing Jesus' crown of thorns, and the clustered red fruit representing his blood.

In the Victorian era, flowers or sprigs of dogwood were presented to unmarried women by male suitors to signify affection. The returning of the flower conveyed indifference on the part of the woman; if she kept it, it became a sign of mutual interest.

The term "dogwood winter", in colloquial use in the American Southeast, is sometimes used to describe a cold snap in spring, presumably because farmers believed it was not safe to plant their crops until after the dogwoods blossomed.

Columbine

Columbine, which is also sometimes called “Granny’s bonnet“, produces very cute flowers that will nicely contribute to the many magnificent bouquets you might imagine.

Most often, you’ll be placing them in a flower bed, but they can also be used along edges or on rocky ground.

Columbine develops a bunch-like bearing, with blue-green leaves, and although alpine varieties stay rather close to the ground, flower bed varieties can tower up to 3 feet (1 meter) tall.

Lastly, columbine tolerates acidic soil very well, and is a great pairing for all types of heather and heath plants.

Honeysuckle

oneysuckles are valued as garden plants, for their ability to cover unsightly walls and outbuildings, their profuse tubular flowers in early summer, and the intense fragrance of many varieties. The hardy climbing types need their roots in shade, and their flowering tops in sunlight or very light shade. Varieties need to be chosen with care, as they can become substantial.

Honeysuckle is renowned for its colorful, fragrant flowers and variously colored fruit, indicating the presence of complex phytochemicals underlying these properties. Component analyses of berries from 27 different cultivars and 3 genotypes of edible honeysuckle (Lonicera caerulea var. kamtschatica) showed the presence of iridoids, anthocyanins, flavonols, flavanonols, flavones, flavan-3-ols, and phenolic acids. While sugars determine the level of sweetness in the berries, organic acids and polyphenols are responsible for the sour taste and tartness..Some 51 of the same compounds in berries are found in flowers, although the proportions of these compounds varied among cultivars studied.

Walking on falling cherry blossom

" Catching a falling cherry blossom makes your first love come true."

Cherry blossoms, also known as sakura in Japan, are the small, delicate pink flowers produced by cherry blossom trees.

Cherry blossoms hold elevated status in China, signifying love and the female mystique (beauty, strength and sexuality)

Tied to the Buddhist themes of mortality, mindfulness and living in the present, Japanese cherry blossoms are a timeless metaphor for human existence. Blooming season is powerful, glorious and intoxicating, but tragically short-lived — a visual reminder that our lives, too, are fleeting.

Sakura have therefore always signalled the beginning of spring, a time of renewal and optimism. With the blooming season coinciding with the beginning of the Japanese calendar year, they also bring hope and new dreams at a time. When n cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the future is bursting with possibilities
