Oh yes, such great depth to this plant- and all incredibly witnessed through its petal’s journey from origin to destination…whereas you mentioned we see its initial poise and beauty eventually leading to a deeper, more enduring vigor. Starting from the top, the petals are delicate and graceful, resembling the initial stages of growth and beauty. As they elegantly extend downward, symbolizing the transition from grace to resilience, reflecting the flower’s ability to withstand harsh conditions. This downward curve culminates in the central cone, as the flower matures and the petals surrender revealing its protection and strength, embodying its soul’s enduring vitality and health. My son is completely enamored by the spikiness of the center cone and every day (during season) would carefully tap the head sensing when it would turn to seed. He’s my Leo Sun baby, Taurus Ascendant ruled by Venus who truly enjoys gardening. 🌞
