Hua Yu: the sage

The English name of Swertia angustifolia is Primrose of Bird's eyes. Because the yellow stamens look like the eyes of birds, and in many myths, the eyes of birds act as the eyes of acting gods, indicating that nothing can escape its observation, so its flower language is "sage". People who are blessed by this kind of flower have keen observation and insight. Whether you choose a job or a lover, if you can give full play to this talent, there is no doubt that life will be successful.

Italian virgin martyr of the fourth century, the flower of St. Julianne

Since ancient times, Christianity has had the habit of connecting saints with specific flowers, because the church often decorates the altar with blooming flowers when commemorating saints. In medieval Catholic monasteries, all kinds of flowers were planted like gardening centers. Over time, the church combined 366-day saints with different flowers to form the so-called calendar. At that time, most of the monasteries were located in southern Europe, which had a Mediterranean climate and was very suitable for planting flowers and plants. Swertia was chosen to offer sacrifices to the flowers of St. Julianne, a virgin martyr in Italy in the early fourth century. It is produced in Europe and North Africa and belongs to small wild primroses, as well as the mountains of northern England and Scotland.
