Bird's-eye primrose
The flower of Saint Juliana, a fourth-century Italian virgin martyr
Since ancient times, Christianity has had the custom of linking saints with specific flowers, which arose because the church, when commemorating saints, often decorated the altar with blooming flowers! In medieval Catholic monasteries, which were like gardening centers, all kinds of flowers were grown; over time, the church combined the 366 saints of the year with different flowers, forming the so-called flower calendar. At that time most monasteries were located in southern Europe, and southern Europe has a Mediterranean climate, extremely suitable for growing flowers and plants. The bird's-eye primrose was chosen as the flower to honor the early fourth-century Italian virgin martyr Saint Juliana. It originates from Europe and North Africa and is a small wild primrose; it also grows in the mountains of northern England and Scotland.
