I'm once again asking you to join me in my appreciation for flower symbolism and spread the love around.
Now, as for flower symbolism explanation...
The leaves of black locust (those that frame the artwork) in many cultures is associated with "immortality". The flowercrown (this specific design) was considered a "love flower crown" in Ukrainian culture and girls over the age of 13 y/o traditionally made them themselves and wore them until their marriage.
Each flower and ribbon carried a specific meaning. Raspberry ribbon meant genuineness and heartfulness, the blue ribbon - water and peace.
Viburnum is a symbol of beauty; periwinkle symbolizes immortality of the soul and sincere pure love.
