The symbolism and meaning of cactus flowers

1. Its flower language

(1) Flower languages ​​related to appearance and habits: The first one is “strong”. The cactus lives tenaciously in the desert, hence this flower language. The second is "warmth". Its existence gives people a warm feeling, especially in the desert where no other plants grow. The third one is "strong love". Its character is related to love, hence this flower language. The fourth one is "strong on the outside and soft on the inside". According to legend, the cactus originally had the softest heart, but was later given a hard appearance, which became its flower language.

(2) Hidden flower language: In addition to the obvious flower language mentioned above, it also has some hidden flower language. For example, "loneliness". The cactus lives alone in the vast desert and it is indeed lonely. Therefore, the flower language of "unrequited love" was derived from its association with love.

2. Its legend

Its meaning is also related to its legend. According to legend, the inside of a cactus is extremely soft and as delicate as water. The slightest touch will hurt it. Later, God couldn't bear to see it like this, so he gave it a set of hard armor with many sharp thorns on it. From then on, it was rarely injured. Later, a brave man split it in two with a sword. Green liquid flowed out, this was the heart sealed by the cactus, turning into teardrops.
