The Language and Symbolism of Moonflower
Do you know these? The language and symbolism of moonflower and the knowledge about sharing the meaning of moonflower can definitely help you. Let's learn about it together!
Moonflower: A large, annual or perennial twining herb of the Ipomoea nil family
Scientific Name: Calonyction aculeatum (L.) House
Alias: Chang'e Flying to the Moon, Split-leaf Moonflower, Yuxian
On Qixi, a crescent moon is painted in the blue sky.
It sprouts new buds at the beginning of each month on clear evenings, enjoying the changes of its full and crescent shape, just like a plant experiencing every stage of growth, going through the joys and sorrows of life. Therefore, I prefer to call it "Moon芽".
Festivals related to love are never short of flowers and gifts, but the most precious are always those moments of pounding heartbeats.
May the person you love always be like the gentle white moonlight.
There are flowers blooming in the dark night, shining together with the moon.
Who can't suppress the heartbeat, like the scent that can't be hidden, easily discovered?
The road we walked together, the moonlight sows seeds, which bloom into flowers.
Daytime is too bright and noisy, it prefers the quiet and coolness beyond the hustle and bustle.
At this moment, every soul strips off its disguise, and every heart returns to its softness.
Two innocent hearts, gazing at each other in the quiet night, no need for words, can also understand each other.
Morning glory blooms in the morning, people call it "Morning Face", bowl flower flourishes in the daytime, people call it "Little Day Face", and moonflower is naturally called "Evening Face", mysterious, lonely, melancholic, as quiet and cold as moonlight.
The name "Evening Face" is popular in Japan, also known as "Night Face".
Moonflower blooms at night and withers the next morning, alone and beautiful in the unmanned dark night, life is short, momentary splendor, "Good things in the world are not strong, colorful clouds are easy to disperse, fragile glass is脆". Therefore, its flower language is "Fragile and fleeting beauty".
Mentioning the name of Evening Face, I think of the conversation between Yunli and Zhen Huan in the Wutong Pavilion in the drama "Zhen Huanzhuan". That night was like tonight, also Qixi, Zhen Huan separated from the noisy night feast and came to the Wutong Pavilion, focusing on a small flower blooming at the corner of the stage, completely unaware of the handsome Yunli in the dark night. She looked at the flower, he looked at her, moonlight was like water, flowers were like moonlight.
Zhen Huan said that she often saw it in the fields when she was a child, called牵牛花, and rarely saw it in the palace, making it more distinctive. Yunli said it's also called "Evening Face", indeed not suitable for the palace, a fragile flower, people in the palace would not plant it. Yunli said some people think this flower is humble, only blooming in the corner, blooming at dusk, withering in the morning,无人欣赏, hence called "Evening Face". The flowers in the drama are obviously props, although there is no close shot, but at a glance, it can be seen that it is牵牛花, not Evening Face.牵牛花 does not bloom at night, so this is a flaw in this drama.
Evening Face is the white moonflower, a night of joy, just like their love that can't be seen in the light, deep but short-lived.
The Language and Symbolism of Moonflower
Mysterious Convolvulaceae, too many of you and me and them that can't be distinguished.
When I wrote about the bowl flower before, I originally wanted to write about these傻傻分不清的旋花们, but I didn't have time to write it in detail, and then I just focused on choosing nice pictures, and carelessly uploaded the picture of field bindweed in the main venue of the bowl flower.
Today, the moonflower appeared, these rotating flowers that make people dizzy, it takes a lot of effort to distinguish them.
Gourd Flower
There is a saying that the Evening Face flower is the gourd flower, which is purely groundless. Gourds are flowers of the gourd family, they do not bloom at night, but also bloom during the day.
