2. Its symbol

Before talking about the symbol, you can first learn about an ancient legend about it. A long time ago, there was a girl named Alice in Germany who lived with her mother in the Harz Mountains all year round. One day, a Grand Duke passed by on horseback and saw the girl. He mistook her for a fairy and wanted her to go back to the city with him. He thought that his power was enough to make her stop hesitating, but Alice refused. But the Duke refused to give up, and the girl screamed, and suddenly a gust of wind blew and she disappeared. At this time, a lily grew out from the ground where she had stood before, emitting bursts of fragrance.

This is the origin of lilies abroad. So this flower symbolizes purity and respect. Especially the white variety, which is more respected and loved by everyone.
