Spring has come, and it is the season when magnolias are in full bloom. Walking in the community, you can see a large area of magnolias from a distance, full of magnolias of various colors, which instantly improves one's mood. Magnolias also have a strong fragrance and are known as the "number one fragrant flower in the world," showing how popular they are. Moreover, magnolias are a type of deciduous tree, and both their branches and flowers have high ornamental value. However, I recently heard that magnolias are also called "ghost flowers," which piqued my interest, so I studied them further and appreciate the beautiful "ghost flowers" magnolias with everyone.
【One, The Legend of "Ghost Flowers"】
There are various explanations for why magnolias are called "ghost flowers." Some say it is because magnolias bloom silently in early spring, giving people a sense of melancholy; others say it is because magnolias bloom before growing leaves, which seems magical and mysterious. I would say it is because magnolias are too beautiful, making people easily "bewitched"!
Of course, there is also a legend about magnolias in folklore: The Dragon King locked up the salt storage, preventing villagers from eating salt, which led to an epidemic. At this time, three sisters stood up and fought for salt for the villagers but were turned into flowering trees by the Dragon King. To commemorate them, the villagers named the tree after them, calling it "magnolia." Because of this legend, magnolias are also known as "ghost flowers."
【Two, Pure White: White Magnolia】
There are many varieties of magnolias, with white magnolias being the most common. From a distance, they look like snowflakes adorning the branches, with an extremely strong fragrance and elliptical petals that are larger than those of most flowers, making them easy to distinguish. Although the petals are white, the base where they connect to the branches is slightly red, like the blushing of a shy girl. White magnolias, with their symbolism of purity, are often given to friends as a representation of pure friendship.
What is the symbolism of purple magnolia
【Three, Noble Purple: Purple Magnolia】
Purple magnolia, also known as Xinyi, is a plant unique to China. Its purple flowers are more colorful than white ones but not as girlish as the pink of peach blossoms or as bright as the red of roses. They have a noble and graceful charm, full of vitality and dignified, making them captivating to look at. No wonder everyone says that purple magnolias are a noble variety, perhaps because of their unique color.
【Four, Elegant Light Purple: Erjiao Magnolia】
If purple magnolias are noble and dignified, then the light purple Erjiao magnolia has more elegance and modesty. Among the white flowers, there is a hint of purplish red, a faint and dreamy beauty that makes one醉. The light purple flowers are like a gentle gentleman, gentle and refined; or like a lady in the house, graceful and intelligent. Erjiao magnolia seems to blend the beauty of both white and purple magnolias, making it elusive and hard to find its charm!
【Five, Noble Gold: Yellow Magnolia】
It is said that yellow magnolias are the rarest and therefore the most beautiful, which might be because rarity enhances value. Moreover, yellow magnolias usually bloom later than other magnolias, making them more precious. The golden yellow flowers of yellow magnolias are indeed beautiful, and when they bloom in large numbers, it feels like "the whole city is draped in golden armor." However, this flower is relatively rare, so such a magnificent view is seldom seen!
The aforementioned introduction about the symbolism of purple magnolias and the popular names for the appearance of magnolia blooming can serve as a reference for everyone.
