The flower language and cultural connotations of moonflower

Moonflower Flower Language

Eternal Love

The moonflower is extremely cold-sensitive and grows mostly in tropical areas. It is a herbaceous plant. Many people like to plant it in the courtyard to decorate their homes or in the garden. At night, the white moonflower is as charming as the bright moonlight, and it also emits a faint floral fragrance, adding endless color to the lonely night.

Beautiful things and emotions that are fragile and easily disappear

The origin of this flower language is that the moonflower blooms at night, just like the night-blooming cereus. Although it is intriguing, it blooms at night after all. No matter how beautiful it is, it will disappear the next morning. Therefore, people often use moonflowers to metaphorize those fragile and disappearing things or emotions.

The warmth that never disappears in life

The moonflower itself is white in color, and it blooms at night. Night is the coolest and loneliest time of the day. At this time, only the moonflower blooms its own flowers, exuding charming fragrance, which adds beauty to the night and adds a warm emotion to the quiet night. Therefore, the moonflower also symbolizes warmth that never disappears.

The face that never fades in the twilight

Twilight represents the night time, and also refers to people’s old age. At this time, the moonflower can still bloom charming flowers, which means that people can still maintain their youthful looks in their old age, or realize their unfulfilled dreams. Therefore, giving a moonflower to people in their old age, I wish you dreams always come true and your looks stay young.

The Cultural Connotation of Moonlight Flower

The moonflower is as bright as a jade plate and has an elegant and beautiful posture. While people appreciate it, some people also compose poems and couplets, giving people a feeling of chatting and laughing with great scholars. The cultural connotation of the moonflower is also fully reflected in the language of the flower. Isn’t the warmth that never loses in life the concept that we have passed down from generation to generation? If there was more warmth and less indifference between people, perhaps the world would be much more harmonious.
