This article brings you the meaning and symbolism of begonia flowers and related experience in understanding the symbolism of begonias in flower cultivation. The following is an introduction in detail.
Begonias have several meanings, with the most well-known being bitter love. Begonias also have another name, "heartbreak flowers," which signifies loving someone deeply but ultimately without any results, describing a bitter love. Another meaning is beauty, as their flowers are beautiful and enchanting, and were used in ancient times to describe beautiful women. The meaning of parting sorrow: it not only represents the feelings between lovers but can also represent the longing between family members, thus giving rise to the meaning of parting sorrow.
There is a beautiful legend about the meaning of bitter love. Long ago, there was a woman who was deeply in love and waited for her beloved, but because women had low status in ancient times, she could not go out to find her love and could only wait in vain. Many years passed, and she still did not wait for her love. After her death, she turned into a very bright flower, which is the begonia. Also known as the heartbreak flower, it signifies a bitter love without results. Begonias are also called "homesick grass," symbolizing a wanderer's longing for home and expressing parting sorrow. Its appearance is elegant, drought-resistant, and cold-resistant, giving a gentle and refined feeling, and its beautiful posture is loved by many.
Begonias not only represent the longing of young people leaving home but also express the pain of separation between lovers. As we all know, although begonias have bright colors and beautiful shapes, they have no fragrance. Many people believe that this is because the person they love has left, and it is afraid that people will smell the trouble in their hearts, so begonias have given up their fragrance. It always presents itself in a gentle and beautiful state to show its true self. In fact, when I first heard this reason, I felt a lot of sympathy, fearing that others might smell the trouble and not allowing themselves to emit fragrance, which is really touching.
The reason why the Chinese people love begonias so much is because of their rich cultural connotation. People praise it as the "queen of a hundred flowers," the "flower of the nobility," and even say it is the "fairy of flowers," while also regarding it as a symbol of a beautiful spring, beautiful women, and good fortune.
Below is a poem by an ancient poet that is also beautifully moving and makes one feel fond of the flower.
