Did you know that the symbolic meaning of a sunflower was adoration? I can understand that. Big, yellow blossoms that attract multitudes of pollinators, not to mention the humans who stare in wonder. They’re a flashy flower that are meant to be adored. And, delphiniums symbolically mean big-hearted and fun. I agree. My delphiniums, a deep purple, almost blue, are huge and full of big-hearted intentions to blossom with fun.
Flowers, plants in general, are glorious. They mean so much and they mean something different to everyone. They speak to the soul and they connect us with loved ones, past and present. Each plant can conjure a memory of someone special who has passed away. So, why not create a garden full of memories, a memory garden full of plants that gives us that special feeling of connectivity to someone we loved and lost to the worlds beyond our own.
Trisha Faye has a passion for memories, writing them down and keeping them close at heart. Her book, “Memory Gardens: Botanical Tributes to Celebrate our Loved Ones, is a compassionate look at the idea of creating a garden full of memories, not just of loved people who have passed away, but also loved pets. She leads the reader through the realms of possibilities, teaching us about different plants, what grows best and where, and what each plant symbolically means. But, as she points out, symbolism aside, a plant or a flower that meant something to the lost loved one, or a special color, is really all that’s needed to make the memory connection in the memory garden. Beautifully laid out with lots of information to assist the reader in making their own memory garden as well as appreciating ones created by others.
