A bit of knowledge to share with you about the flower language of begonia and the symbolism and implications of begonia cultivation, details are as follows:
Begonias have several flower languages, the most well-known being bitter love. Begonias also have another name, 'heartbreak flower,' which signifies a love that is deeply felt but ultimately fruitless, describing a bitter love. There is also beauty; its flowers are beautiful and graceful, and ancient times used it to describe beautiful women. The flower language of 'longing' represents not only the feelings between lovers but can also represent the longing between family members, hence the 'longing' flower language.
Regarding the flower language of bitter love, there is a beautiful legend. Long ago, there was a woman who was deeply in love and waited for her beloved, but because women in ancient times had low status, 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 beloved, so after her death, she turned into a very bright flower, which is begonia, also known as 'heartbreak flower,' signifying a love that breaks one's heart but has no result. Begonias are also called 'homesickness grass,' symbolizing the longing of wanderers for their homeland and expressing the feelings of longing and sorrow. Its appearance is elegant, drought-resistant, and cold-resistant, giving a gentle and graceful feeling, and its posture is beautiful and captivating, making it popular with the public.
Begonias not only represent the longing of young people leaving home but also express the pain of separation between lovers. We all know that although begonias are bright in color and beautiful in shape, they have no fragrance. Many people believe that this is because the person they like has left, and it fears that people will smell its secrets, so begonias have given up their fragrance. They always present themselves in a gentle, beautiful state to show their true selves. In fact, when I first heard this reason, I felt a kind of heartache, fearing that others would smell their secrets and not allow themselves to emit fragrance, which is really touching.
Chinese people love begonias so much because of their rich cultural connotations. People praise it as the 'queen of flowers,' 'the empress of flowers,' and even say it is the 'fairy of flowers,' while also seeing it as a symbol of a beautiful spring, beautiful women, and all things auspicious.

There should be no Sui begonias in the world, fragrant throughout the city when they bloom.
In sunny days, the government office is close to the balustrade; after the rain, they scatter from people's walls.
【Tang Dynasty】He Xiyao, "Begonia"
The rain fades the rouge dot by dot, most enchanting when half open.
Whose house has a golden house, locking the east wind to store A Qiao?
