Today is the beginning of summer, as I passed by a local villager's vegetable garden, I saw a branch of flower stems proudly standing among the lush green leaves, making the flowers above look more beautiful. Their rich flower shapes and colorful hues exude a gentle yet strong, dignified and elegant charm.
This is China's mother flower - daylily, which also has aliases such as "golden needle vegetable, daylily, and forget-worry grass." In ancient times, a mother's room was called Xuan Hall, her birthday Xuan Chen, and her alias Xuan Qin, hence the daylily is known as the mother flower. In classical poetry, "daylily" has long been a synonym for mother. The "Book of Natural History" says: "Daylilies, when eaten, make people joyful and forget worries, hence the name forget-worry grass."
In ancient times, when a son traveled far away, he would plant daylilies in the north hall, hoping to alleviate his mother's longing for her child and forget her troubles. Over the generations, scholars often used daylilies as a theme, singing and praising them to relieve worries, clarify intentions, think of one's mother, and extol motherhood.
The Tang Dynasty poet Meng Jiao wrote in his "Son's Poem": "Daylilies grow on the steps of the hall, the son travels at the ends of the earth. The kind mother leans against the door of the hall, not seeing the daylily flowers." Wang Mian also wrote in his "Casual Writing": "Today the wind and sun are fine, daylilies in front of the hall." Expressing the poet's love and good wishes for his mother.
The symbolism of daylily flowers is to forget worries, be grateful for motherly love, and have a warm and beautiful life. Daylily flowers are also known as "forget-worry grass," representing the forgetting of sadness and worries. Moreover, daylily flowers are considered the flower of motherly love, symbolizing noble and great motherhood.
The daylily was once an important cash crop in my hometown, and our school fees basically depended on it. Of course, picking daylily flowers became our main task outside of studying. I remember that the daylily's blooming period starts from late May and can last until the end of July or early August. Each individual flower's blooming period is less than a day, opening in the morning and withering by dusk. However, since there are many flower buds on the whole plant, the blooming period of the whole plant is relatively long. Therefore, our time for picking daylily flowers was also long, almost the entire summer vacation. Although it was tiring, it was very joyful.
The above is the specific introduction of the meaning of daylily flowers and a brief discussion of the symbolism and connotations of daylilies, hoping to bring some floral knowledge to green plant enthusiasts.
