[Poppyseed]
Poppies have long been used as a symbol of sleep, peace, and death: Sleep because the opium extracted from them is a sedative, and death because of the common blood-red color of the red poppy in particular.
The white poppy is a flower used as a symbol of pacifism. They are distributed by the Peace Pledge Union (PPU). There are three elements to the meaning of white poppies: they represent remembrance for all victims of war, a commitment to peace and a challenge to attempts to glamorise or celebrate war.
Canadian John MCrae wrote a poem titled In Flanders Fields, which documented the horrors of the war and named the poppy as a way to remember the fallen soldiers. From that point forward, wearing red poppies served as a way honor fallen soldiers, the bright red color symbolizing the blood on the battlefield.
The remembrance poppy is an artificial flower that has been used since 1921 to commemorate military personnel who have died in war, and represents a common or field poppy, Papaver rhoeas. Many organisations adopted the poppy as their memorial flower, after the World War One came to an end.
"我々は、慈悲も、フィールドには、ヴァルが導か育ったポピー赤、それは空に血の英雄が死ぬことはない信号になるように見える。"
"We cherish too, the Poppy red that grows on fields where valor led, it seems to signal to the skies that blood of heroes never dies."
~ Moina Michael

太陽🌻|Sunflower|🌻太陽
Sunflowers symbolize adoration, loyalty and longevity. Much of the meaning of sunflowers stems from its namesake, the sun itself. Sunflowers are known for being “happy” flowers, making them the perfect gift to bring joy to someone's (or your) day.
Sunflowers also symbolize worship and faithfulness in various religions because of their resemblance to the sun, which is associated with spiritual knowledge and the desire to seek light and truth. The Incas used sunflowers to symbolize the Sun God, and brought them to temples for worship.
Sunflower is the only flower with flower in its name! “Helianthus” is the scientific name of Sunflower, Helia for Sun and Anthus for Flower. They follow the movement of the sun across the sky from east to west, and this process is known as heliotropism.
While they aren't your typical romantic flowers, sunflowers are cheerful and uplifting. According to Teleflora.com, the wide, open faces of these yellow flowers symbolize the sun, happiness, adoration, and longevity, making an arrangement of these more romantic than you think. You can even get red sunflowers.
"あなたの顔を日光に保ってください、そして、あなたは影を見ることができません。それは、ひまわりがするものです。"
"Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. It's what sunflowers do."
-Helen Keller

忠実な❁Bluebells❁忠実な
The most popular meaning for bluebells is humility or sometimes gratitude. It is also associated with everlasting love and constancy. Bluebells are also called harebells in Scotland because it is believed that witches turned into hares and hide among the flowers.
The bluebell, or harebell, is the official national flower of Scotland, although many sources also list the thistle as Scotland's flower.
If flowers are picked it is said that bad luck will follow, although it is trampling which does Bluebells most harm as it squashes the succulent leaves and deprives the bulb and flowers of food. So please do not tread on them (and of course all wildflowers are protected against picking by law).
" 彼女の心は、自然のブルーベル荒野で打ちます:子供として彼女を愛していた魂。"
"Her heart beats in nature's bluebell wild: the soul that loved her as a child."
-Angie Weiland-Crosby

桜🌸Cherry Blossom🌸桜
Cherry blossoms are a symbolic flower of the spring, a time of renewal, and the fleeting nature of life. Their life is very short. After their beauty peaks around two weeks, the blossoms start to fall. ... Hanami literally means “watching blossoms,” and the tradition can be traced back at least a thousand years.
The significance of the cherry blossom tree in Japanese culture goes back hundreds of years. In their country, the cherry blossom represents the fragility and the beauty of life. It's a reminder that life is almost overwhelmingly beautiful but that it is also tragically short.
"私は知っているにもかかわらず、再び開花し、桜だけが枯れるためのものです。"
"I bloomed up all over again despite knowing, cherry blossoms are only meant to wither. "
-Eayra
