What is the flower language and legend of lavender?

Introduction: The flower language and symbolic meaning of lavender is: waiting for love. It is like budding youth, longing for the future and hoping for the arrival of love. Love may come, but no one knows how long it will take. Sometimes, longing is like an endless wait, and the one you are waiting for is in the distant future.

A promise made in youth, a lavender bottle tightly held in both hands, after being separated by time and space and the changes of people and circumstances, that pure deep affection between them still carves out an irreplaceable place in the heart; even when facing fate's tricks and the cruelty of destiny, there is still that stirring in the heart for love.

In ancient Provence there was a beautiful girl. One day, she was alone in a cold valley picking budding flowers, and on her way home she met a wounded traveler from afar who asked her for directions. The girl held an armful of flowers and gazed deeply at this handsome young man, and in that instant her heart was already occupied by the young man's passionate and unrestrained smile.

The girl insisted that the young man stay in the guest room at home to recover until he was well. As the days passed one by one, the young man's leg wound healed, and the feelings between them also heated up rapidly. On a slightly cool early morning, the young man was about to say goodbye and leave, but the girl, despite her family's opposition, was willing to go far away with him, to his distant hometown full of roses.

Before the girl left, an old granny in the village held a bouquet of newly bloomed lavender and told the infatuated girl to use this bouquet of newly bloomed lavender to test the young man's true heart. It is said that the fragrance of a lavender bouquet will make unclean things reveal themselves. Some say she followed the floral scent to look for the young man, and some say she was also transformed by the young man into a wisp of light smoke and disappeared into the valley.
