Holly flower language: Life
The fruit of this plant has the characteristic of not falling from the branches throughout the entire winter. When birds have no feed and are unbearably hungry, the fruit of the holly tree can just sustain life. Therefore, its flower language is "life." Anyone born under the blessing of this flower understands the importance and preciousness of life and is a person born with a compassionate heart. The only flaw is that it is hard for them to refuse others' requests, so please pay special attention to sexual relationships between men and women.
Introduction to Holly
Flower of Saint Withburga, a 7th-century English abbess. Since ancient times, Christianity has had the custom of linking saints with specific flowers. This came about because when the church commemorated saints, it often decorated altars with blooming flowers! In medieval Catholic monasteries, various flowers were planted almost like in a gardening center. Over time, the church paired the 366 days' saints with different flowers respectively, forming the so-called flower calendar.
At that time, most monasteries were located in Southern Europe, and Southern Europe has a Mediterranean climate, which is extremely suitable for planting flowers and plants. The holly tree was chosen to be dedicated to Saint Withburga, the abbess of the Essex nunnery in England in the 7th century. It is a very slow-growing evergreen tree.
Personality Analysis
People born on October 11 always dream of entering the decision-making center and playing an important social role. Unfortunately, their nature of loving ease and hating work often becomes the biggest stumbling block. For them, truly defining their role is very important and necessary, because their career path is full of many difficulties and challenges. In fact, they may have to keep changing jobs until they find the truly suitable career. Setting aside career, they can be said to be people who live for social life; because they cannot endure being isolated and alone, they are destined to be closely connected with crowds, and because of this, when they play the role of group or private representative, they always achieve outstanding results.
People born today are in danger of becoming "Mr. Nice Guy" or "Miss Nice Guy," and may also become too lazy. One major reason they cannot settle down in work or casually compromise with reality is their lack of strong and direct (or self-interested) ambition. They do not like facing complex situations, and perhaps cannot be bothered to face challenges, preferring comfort and happiness. Therefore, they should actively try to find a lifestyle that easily balances career, relationships, family and leisure entertainment.

The Legend of Opal
Since ancient times, Europeans have had a superstition: people not born in October will bring misfortune if they possess opal. This superstition may be because of its various color changes! In Scotland, people believe it is a strange stone that affects seven major changes in a person's life. Legend says there was a beautiful young girl named Christine, a daughter of a distinguished family in the city of Edinburgh.
One day she accidentally obtained a rough opal, and she treasured this rough stone very much. Because she possessed this rough stone, she went from being the king's lover to a duchess, then a nun, and finally a prostitute, dying in poverty. But such rumors were overturned by Queen Victoria. Among her favorite necklaces, one was made of opal!

The blue-green jade collected in Persian mines has a charming exotic flavor. In the 13th century, caravans that came to Europe through Turkey brought it to Europe, so Europeans called this blue-green jade turquoise.
However, Turkey does not produce this gem! Turquoise has various colors such as blue and green, but the highest-grade turquoise has a blue like a robin's egg. Since ancient times, the turquoise bracelets people wore have been considered the oldest turquoise ornaments.
The Legend of Turquoise
In ancient Egypt, Osiris, the king of the underworld, was called the "God of Turquoise," and Queen Isis was called the "Goddess of Turquoise." Therefore, people believed that if one wore sky-blue turquoise, divine power would help avert disasters and eliminate misfortune. The physician of Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor, said: "People believe that as long as it is turquoise given by someone else, it can exert the power to avert disasters and eliminate misfortune. Therefore, he kept the turquoise given by his father with him at all times without ever leaving it. And the color of the jade became more and more vivid. Then, an incredible thing happened: once he fell from horseback, and as a result he did not even get a scratch, because the turquoise shattered."
