Myth - Thistle

The thistle, (eryngium) is a commonly used cut flower in the floral industry. It is added as a filler flower in arrangements, usually with a "woodsy" or "fall" theme. The thistle has some intesting myths attached to it however, that make it an interesting bloom to use in many applications.

Myths
Aphrodite presented Phaon with a thistle, this is seen as her way of ensnaring him on the prickles

In fairy tales, the thistle often symbolizeds an enduring love, that will last in spite of pain and suffering

Scottish heraldry proclaims that an invading Viking trod upon a thistle, and alerted the Scots to his presence. The Order of the Thistle motto - nemo me impune lacessit roughly translates to "no one attacks me and gets away with it"

Daisy -

The Daisy - (Bellis perennis) was an absolute favorite in England. In Chaucer's time, it was called "days eye". Over time, this of course became "daisy".

Queens called Margaret (marguerite daisy) decorated themselves with these flowers to symbolize eternal beauty.

Roman Catholicism sees the daisy as a symbol that love conquers all

Of course the most famous is the plucking of a daisies petals, one at a time, to find the true measure of love. This became popular in the fifteenth century, and was extolled as love's oracle.

Remember that all of these meanings don't have to mean anything unless the giver chooses to apply meaning
ALSO - all of the anniversary gifts are great with flowers!
