What is the meaning and symbolism of the water lily?
Main content introduction: Discussing the meaning and symbolism of the water lily and a brief introduction to the green plant flowers it represents. Here is a detailed description below.
In my friend's flower shop, several bouquets were stunning! Snow-white tender petals, golden cores; peach-colored flowers layered upon layers, densely packed orange cores; gradient petals, apricot-colored cores. Each bloom is vivid and graceful, and I excitedly asked, "What kind of flower is this?" My friend replied, "It's a water lily!"
Oh, a water lily! They are slightly smaller than lotus flowers, but their beauty is by no means inferior to that of lotus flowers! Look closely, and there is a difference between them. The leaves of lotus flowers stick out of the water much higher and have fine villi on the surface, while the leaves of water lilies float on the water surface, small and round with a slit, and the leaf surface is also glossy; lotus flowers have pods, but water lilies do not, and the flowers of lotus are much larger than those of water lilies!
Water lilies come in various colors, including white, yellow, purple, pink, red, purple-red, and blue. Their leaf surface is green, while the back is purple-red. The flowers usually open during the day and close at dusk, which is quite interesting! Water lilies also have a unique refreshing fragrance. On the clear water surface, each water lily flower smiles with a crystal-clear and charming appearance, adorned with bright dewdrops, like crystals, like diamonds, truly adorable! The symbolism of water lilies is purity and sanctity.
Gaily floating in the water, layers of green reflect the azure sky. Not just the lotus in the leaves that delight, but this object is more beautiful than flowers. (Poem by Zhen Qian)
