To whom is it customary to present calla lilies?
Florists claim that calla is a flower symbolizing the purity of a person's soul, his innocence. It is appropriate to present it to young girls, as well as to unmarried ladies of Balzac's age. The white flower is associated with a unique and sophisticated female beauty.
This beautiful flower looks unusual and expensive. Its snow-white bud with a golden core can be compared to an expensive royal dress. With all his appearance, he speaks of royal nobility. For this reason, it is customary to give a bouquet of calla lilies to high-ranking persons, as well as benefactors.
Florists also recommend presenting calla lilies to someone whom the donor considers important in his life. Such a gift will testify to the respect experienced for the given.
It is impossible to give callas to a lady of advanced years. This is bad form. Such a gift may be perceived by a woman as an inappropriate reminder of her venerable age, or as a hint of her imminent departure from life.
The legend of the emergence of a flower
According to an ancient legend, a warlike tribe attacked a village in the forest. Its leader fell in love with a beautiful villager he saw there. The girl amazed the bloodthirsty warrior with her pure beauty, white skin and huge eyes full of love. He declared that he would marry her and for this he would not touch the inhabitants of the village.
The beauty was dressed in a wedding dress against her will. On the way of the festive procession, a ritual bonfire met and the girl, in order to avoid the hated marriage, decided to throw herself into the fire. In the same instant, she turned into a beautiful white flower. Since then, calla is a symbol of purity.
Calla is considered a magical talisman for married women. He protects from troubles a family in which spouses love and respect each other.
The positive properties of the flower
Calla is able to predict the weather. If the bud is fully unfolded, the day will be sunny and fine, if pressed against the stem, it will be rainy and foggy.
Esotericists claim that by placing a pot of calla lilies at home, you can improve relationships between households. Where this plant is located, there are no quarrels and conflicts. It helps to restore peace in the family. In addition, calla lilies help fight bad mood and depression.
Calla is a flower that can feel the energy background of the place where it is. If the calla grows in the house, he feels the condition of each of the family members.
By its appearance, the plant can tell about a deterioration in well-being, physical and mental, of some of the household. Due to the ability of a flower to respond to changes in the energy field, it can warn not only about the ill health of the inhabitants of the house, but also about the impending death of one of the family members. The ability to predict death was the reason for the plant's bad reputation.
Why calla is considered the flower of death
The connection between calla and death is due not only to the plant's ability to warn of an impending disaster, but also to the tradition of bringing white flowers to the cemetery. Residents of European countries often leave callas on the graves of loved ones.
In addition, calla is so unusual that it looks like a lifeless flower. It resembles a wax statue. It is not accepted to give artificial flowers to living people. They are meant for the dead. This is another reason why such a beautiful plant is associated with death in many people.
Calla is a great choice for a flower garden if its owner is not superstitious. The plant is easy to care for and extremely decorative. It will become a real garden decoration!
