#gilly-flower

[hillbillybubbeleh]

My meditation room smells so sweetly of the flowers I picked up at the flower stand yesterday! It immediately set me in such a good mood today to see the little bouquet I arranged —

chrysanthemum for protection;

daisy for luck and joy;

carnation for fortitude, and healing;

statice for clarity;

baby's breath for cleansing and purification;

rose for luck, protection, and love;

and stock or gilly-flower for blessings, longevity, and happiness.

I've another small bouquet in my room and in the kitchen.

I also picked up another miniature rose bush yesterday, which I'll be planting today. It's high time my other mini had a friend (though it's been going strong with the hostas and azaleas keeping it company for 8 years now).
