Flowers delight with their beauty and are full of legends, mystery, and fairy tales. At XOstudio FLOWERS we attach great importance not only to the aesthetics of flowers, but also appreciate their rich history.
Let’s immerse into the fascinating world of floristry and learn some interesting facts and legends about the most famous flowers.
Rose is a flower bathed in legends, one of which, the most famous, is associated with the ancient Roman god of love, Cupid. It is said that when Cupid hurriedly rushed about his amorous affairs, his arrows accidentally pierced rose flowers, which have become an eternal symbol of love and beauty ever since.

Lotus in many cultures symbolizes purity and spiritual insight. In ancient Egypt, lotus was considered a sacred flower personifying rebirth and eternal life. There are legends about how the lotus is born from darkness and rises to the light, signifying enlightenment and overcoming difficulties on the ways towards truth. |
Orchid - many-faced, many-sided – is a flower of grace and luxury. Each nation has its own story associated with the appearance of this wonderful flower. In ancient China, for example, the orchid was considered a sign of nobility and refined manners. The legend says that one of the emperors was surrounded by wild animals, but he was saved by an orchid that bloomed in their presence, and the animals, stunned by its beauty, left.

Tulips – the national symbol of the Netherlands – have attracted the attention of flower growers and connoisseurs of beauty for many centuries. In the 17th century, a real «tulip mania» broke out in Holland, when prices for some rare varieties of tulips reached incredible heights, and the trade in these flowers became an object of speculation and investment. The history of tulips has become one of the most amazing episodes in the history of the world economy. Saffron is a symbol of expectation of happiness and rebirth. In the middle of winter, when the ground is still covered with snow, the first crocuses break through the ground and bloom. They herald the triumphant arrival of spring after a harsh winter. |
