About flowers with meaning
Flowers have always inspired people of art and creativity. They meet us on the canvases of famous artists, live in the eternal music of great musicians, and wait for us on the pages of the best books. And often they are designed not only to be an ornament to a work, but with their help, the authors want to convey their thoughts and feelings to us. From the legendary children's book by Saint-Exupery "The Little Prince" you can draw a great many quotes about flowers with meaning that will make us adults think deeply about their wisdom.
“If you love a flower - the only one that is not found on any of the many millions of stars, that is enough: you look at the sky and feel happy. And you say to yourself: “Somewhere there lives my flower ...”
“A plant that is afraid of drafts ... very strange,” the Little Prince thought about the rose. What a difficult character this flower has.”
“On your planet,” said the little Prince, “people grow five thousand roses in one garden… and they don’t find what they are looking for…
“They don’t,” I agreed.
“But what they are looking for can be found in a single rose ...”
“A favorite flower is, first of all, the rejection of all other flowers. Otherwise, it will not seem the most beautiful.
"Your rose is so dear to you because you gave it all your days."
“Why do we need spikes? - The thorns are not needed for any reason, the flowers release them simply out of anger. - I do not believe you! Flowers are weak. And simple-minded. And they try to give themselves courage. They think: if they have thorns, everyone is afraid of them ... "
“There are good seeds of good, useful herbs and harmful seeds of bad, weed grass. But the seeds are invisible. They sleep deep underground until one of them decides to wake up. Then it sprouts; he straightens up and reaches for the sun, at first so sweet, harmless. If this is a future radish or rose bush, let it grow in health. But if it is some kind of bad herb, you must uproot it as soon as you recognize it.
“I should not have listened to her,” he once told me trustingly. You should never listen to what the flowers say. You just have to look at them and breathe in their scent. My flower gave my whole planet a fragrance to drink, but I did not know how to rejoice in it.
“I didn’t understand anything then! It was necessary to judge not by words, but by deeds. She gave me her fragrance, lit up my life. I shouldn't have run. Behind these pathetic tricks and tricks, I should have guessed the tenderness. The flowers are so inconsistent! But I was too young, I did not yet know how to love.
The beautiful language of flowers
Flowers are the most suitable metaphor for describing any event, feeling, character of a person. And each flower has its own role in this. Wildflowers with their natural beauty are often associated with tenderness, innocence, artlessness, harmony. Luxurious exotic flowers are a symbol of sophistication and sophistication. No wonder there is even a language of flowers, where each flower has its own place, and with the help of a bouquet you can write a whole message. In aphorisms and quotes about flowers, it is so deeply and accurately said about their magical beauty.

Give girls flowers
There is a saying that all women are like flowers. We are all so different, but each is beautiful in its own way. Perhaps this explains the female love for flowers? Some of the fair sex do not like cut ready-made bouquets, they prefer to admire the growing flowers, but in any case, I have not met a single woman who is absolutely indifferent to this miracle of nature. Therefore, dear men, no matter how incomprehensible to you the meaning of such an impractical gift, just come to terms with the fact that women love ... flowers.

From early childhood, children get to know each other with primary colors, then with their shades, actively draw with paints. The child relates to color in his own way, not like an adult. The color in a child's drawing speaks rather about the internal qualities of an object, a person. A black pencil will be used by a child in order to portray an evil person - and the kid does not care that "in fact" the villain can walk in bright clothes. Red mixed with blue makes purple, yellow mixed with blue makes green, red and yellow make orange. For a growing person, this becomes a big discovery. BUT rainbow! A real multi-colored miracle!

The world of plants is so diverse that it is not surprising that a huge number of various literary works are devoted to this vast world - poems, stories, riddles with answers, signs, as well as proverbs and sayings. We tried to collect materials about colors in this section. We really hope that these materials will be useful for educators in the classroom to familiarize children with nature, as well as in the classroom for the development of speech.
Over time, we plan to separate the section “about flowers” from the section “about plants” for reasons of a purely quantitative nature - there are so many riddles about flowers (as well as proverbs, sayings, poems) that it is worth paying quite a lot of attention to flowers. Separate pages will be devoted to the most famous and popular species, while one or two will contain poems, proverbs, riddles with answers about less known types of flowers.
About everything in the world:
In 1930, the film "The Rogue Song" about the kidnapping of a girl in the Caucasus mountains was released in the US. Actors Stan Laurel, Lawrence Tibbett and Oliver Hardy played local crooks in this film. Surprisingly, these actors are very similar to the characters...
We all love flowers. They are luxurious creations of nature with amazing shapes and bright colors. The most colorful representatives of the plant world. Flowers are the heroes of various stories, myths, legends, fairy tales, folk sayings and proverbs.
How did different nations treat them? subtly notices the features of flowers, which is why numerous colorful aphorisms arose - poems, proverbs and sayings about colorful inflorescences. For example, the statement: "A proverb is a flower, a proverb is a berry." What proverbs can you remember?
Symbol of life and beauty
Flowers have many meanings and symbols. Allegorically, they personify short-lived beauty. Color also matters.
In addition, this is the most common gift. They are given to adults, young people, lovers, parents, friends. Flowers are the personification of our strong feelings. They decorate not only festive events, but also mourning, sad ones.
Change of seasons
In any world culture, flowers are considered a reflection of the cycle of being - they are born, bloom and fade. In sayings and proverbs about flowers, the symbolism of plants is practically not reflected, their meaning is related to the life process, the change of various states and seasons.
In China and Japan they say: “Flowers bloom at their proper time” and “Live in peace. Spring will come, and they will bloom themselves. However, it is accurately noted: “You cannot admire the moon, flowers and snow at the same time”, “Fallen flowers will not return to the branches”.
A Russian proverb about flowers remarks: “People rejoice in the summer, but the bee rejoices in the flower.”
French proverbs remind: "A wedding in the month of flowering is a wedding that brings tears in the future." The Russian equivalent of this expression - the meaning of which is that if you toil later.
Another French proverb about flowers rightly remarks: "All the flowers that still bloom are only seeds today." And Russian proverbs are more attached to rural work: “Spring is beautiful with flowers, and autumn is stacked”, “Know by flowers that it’s time for summer”, “Don’t grow grass after autumn, don’t bloom flowers in winter in the snow.” The people of the mountains came up with their own speaking proverbs, for example, that it would rain in the mountains and flowers would appear in the steppe.
The double nature of flowers
Often in proverbs and sayings the dual nature of flowers is played up. This indicates the ambiguity of people's behavior in life, the manifestation of their qualities. The Japanese believe that beautiful flowers do not bear good fruit. A Russian proverb about flowers says: “A beautiful flower, but a sharp spike”, “Beautiful flowers and poisonous”. Not only roses have thorns - nettles also bloom, but you can’t make a wreath out of it, and when nettles bloom, they are beautiful.
Many proverbs say that beautiful flowers are deceptive, like people: "Outside is beautiful, inside is dangerous." That in every person there are good qualities and bad. This is a Turkish proverb that says that a charming person puts the flowers outside and puts the needles inside.
Africans compare lies to flowers and claim that they give flowers but not fruits.
An empty person is compared with beautiful plants, but barren: “Red, motley, but a barren flower”, “Red as a poppy flower, stupid as a stump”, “Roses (barren flowers) have no fruits.”
Pride is a flower grown in the devil's garden, says a French proverb. The expression that says that a snake can live in lush thickets of flowers has a similar meaning. However, from the same flower, the snake makes poison, and the bee makes honey. A liar is compared to a snake lurking under a beautiful flower garden. “The more luxurious the rose, the sharper its thorns” - again a Russian proverb.
The Japanese believe: "On a dead cherry tree we do not find inflorescences" and "On one tree you will not find two varieties of flowers."
Beauty and love in flowers
Of course, you can not do without comparing colors with love - devoted or short-term.
Russian proverbs say: “The scarlet flower catches the eye”, “A moth will fly to the red flower”. However, beauty is not always a source of happiness: “A beautiful flower often has a short life” and “A bright flower does not grow long on the side of the road.”
They will say about unhappy love: "Flowers bloomed, but faded, the young man loved the girl, but left."
However, there is still hope for the future. In Indonesia, they say that a wilted flower can bloom. Although, of course, it often happens that a flower is beautiful, it fades very quickly.
He is compared with girlish beauty: “A girl is not a poppy, she won’t lose petals in a day”, “A girl who does not know love is like a flower that does not know the sun”, “A beautiful girl in a round dance is like a poppy flower”.
Flowers are careless creatures
In some nations, they are associated with carelessness and dreams. The Chinese believe that a rice cake is better than flowers, and in Azerbaijan they say that you cannot feed a donkey with violets. A Russian proverb says: "Today you are in flowers, tomorrow you will be in tears."
Love for life and hope for the best
Other proverbs compare the happiness and beauty of life with plants and advise you to always find the positive, be able to enjoy the little and take care of what is given to you.
“Where there are flowers, there is honey,” explains a Russian proverb. Vietnamese advise: "There are flowers - rejoice at them, no - rejoice at the buds" and "Where you see flowers, you will also meet butterflies."
In beauty there is hope for the future: "If you want to get fruits from a tree, take care of its flowers." And also: "Where there are no flowers, there can be no comfort." It is also said that grasses bloom after rain, and the soul comes from song.
"Thousands of joyful days do not work out in a row, and flowers do not bloom for a hundred days." And to keep a positive mood, there is an excellent recipe: "Three things delight the heart and quench sadness - flowers, water and female beauty." After all, even a weed plant is beautiful for an optimist, and a pessimist can scold a beautiful rose.
Steppe flowers
There are also sayings where we are talking about certain varieties, their qualities, differences. There are proverbs dedicated to the rose, poppy, bell - garden and field pets.
Here are proverbs about a bell, a field flower, roses and nettles: “Healthy, like a bell”, “Blossoms like a poppy flower”, “Leave wild flowers in the field”, “Black poppy, yes tasty, and white radish, but bitter”, “There are no roses without thorns”, “Not every stepmother is like a nettle, and not every stepdaughter is a pretty flower.”
Poems, proverbs and sayings about flowers decorate our speech and make it more colorful and understandable. This is especially important when we communicate with children. Thanks to witty and precise expressions, they better remember what is being said. And what proverbs about flowers for children can be mentioned? Short, capacious, colorful and understandable at the same time. For example: “The flowers are brighter in the neighboring yard”, “These are flowers, and the berries will come later.”
