Language of flowers

The November flower is the chrysanthemum, a flower whose origins date back to around 1500 BC in China. They were considered a symbol of the sun and were highly valued in ancient times. Over the centuries, they spread throughout the continent, reaching Japan in 300 AD, becoming a distinctive and unique emblem for emperors during the Meiji era. For the Japanese, their flowers represented perfection. For Confucius, they were an object of meditation. The flower got its name from the color of its golden petals: in Latin, its name is Chrysanthemum, which can be interpreted as a golden flower. It is said that if a single petal is placed at the bottom of a wine glass, it will bring a long and healthy life.

The larkspur flower is very similar to delphinium. It is a characteristic flower of July. Larkspurs grow wild and tall in pastures, and their colors are deep and beautiful. Native Americans used larkspur to make a dark red dye, and European settlers used it to dip their quills in blue ink. As soon as the snow melts, these beautiful larkspurs appear; however, they do not bloom until July.
