"the dew of the ocean"-what is the flower language and legend of rosemary?

I believe that many people's first impression of rosemary comes from Jay Chou's songs ~ but rosemary is really a very romantic plant. Next, the editor of Tuliu.com will take you to understand the flower legends of rosemary.

Legend one:

Rosemary is one of the most storytelling plants in Europe because of its extraordinary situation for thousands of years and countless myths and legends related to it. Rosemary means tears of the sea, so rosemary is also commonly known as "dew of the ocean". In some legends, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, is described as holding rosemary in one hand and sword in the other, symbolizing her remarkable wisdom and force; in earlier Greek myths and legends, rosemary was transformed into Poseidon, a symbol of holiness, purity, tolerance and wisdom. At that time, people in ancient Greece weaved rosemary into a necklace and wore it on their students, thinking that it could enhance their memory, and they also weaved it as a wreath and hid it over their heads to attend various religious ceremonies, believing that it could keep people sane.

Legend 2:

The old English folk song says: "when you fall in love with someone, when you miss someone, please come to the field full of flowers with your love and thoughts, and gently tell your heart to the swaying rosemary. Soon, your beloved, the face you miss, will appear in front of you, also in Europe." rosemary flower word is "loyalty", as a frequent guest at the wedding for hundreds of years. During the wedding, the bride will wear rosemary and drink the wine soaked in rosemary when the husband and wife swear to each other, implying that the promise of love will never change. Rosemary originated in the Mediterranean and was considered to have divine power in ancient times. Europeans planted it around the church as a symbol of holiness.

After listening to the fairy tale about rosemary, let's talk about its real magic. Nowadays, Rosemary is one of the popular garden landscape shrubs, which is very popular in the garden because of its drought tolerance, pruning resistance, neat and beautiful plant shape, not easy to get sick and so on. Especially when you gently rub its dark green needle leaves with your hands, you can still smell the fragrance and continuous fragrance, which is really fascinating.
