What is the flower language of the Clivia? A complete interpretation of its meanings and symbolism
I. Flower Language
The flower language of the Clivia can be seen from its name, representing a noble character. Specifically, it means a gentleman who is modest, gentle and courteous, talented but not arrogant, successful but not haughty, and dwelling in the valley without feeling inferior.
Its leaves are smooth and thick and stand upright like swords, representing a character of fortitude and unyielding dignity. When it blooms, its brilliant colors and full blossoms also symbolize happiness, fulfillment, wealth and good fortune.
II. Legend
The Clivia has a very poignant legend. A prince fell in love with a girl from an ordinary family, but a princess fell in love with the prince. When the princess learned that the prince was secretly seeing that girl, she was very angry and jealous, so she secretly informed the king. The king put the girl to death, and when the prince learned of this, he hated the princess even more. The princess grew more haggard day by day, and in the end she could not move. Gazing at the prince's receding figure, her body turned into soil and her clothes turned into branches and leaves, and she became a Clivia. She forever faces the direction of the prince, loving him forever, unchanging until death. Therefore, its flower language also symbolizes devotion in love.
