Tiger Lilies and Roses are two of my favourite flowers, so I was very happy when I received them for Valentine’s Day a few years ago.
I think these beautiful blue Tiger lilies are bold in their form, their energy leaps off every petal and stem. The colour blue is indicative of calmness and quietness which reminds me how I like to live my life.
Blue Tiger Lilies are not found in nature, they are created by dying the petals, but they are striking nonetheless. This makes them different from the naturally occurring pink and orange varieties and being different is OK. OK to bloom and to shine in their own way.
Like the lilies, rainbow roses are created artificially rather that naturally, but they are eye-catching and colourful and instil joyful feelings. When I look at these roses and see the different colours, I see a mirror of myself – many hues, many stories, all woven into me and I am embrace who I am.
There’s something soul-raising about these roses, each vibrant petal a reminder that life doesn’t have to be ordinary, that colour can return even after darker days. They inspire me to create and to have the courage to shine brightly.
In Every Petal, a Little Light. In Every bloom, a Brighter Day.
Peace & Love, G x
