Why my affinity for the amaryllis flower?
You may have noticed I have a strong affinity for the amaryllis flower. It’s on my logo, I use it in many of my other graphics and I even named my business and my publishing company Amaryllis. What’s the deal with that? Why the amaryllis flower?
Well, there’s a few reasons. One big one is exemplified by something that happened this week.
So, I am horrible with plants. Like my thumb is blacker than black. All you need to do is ask my sister or mother-in-law who try to give my plants some much needed TLC and resuscitation whenever they visit.
And yet, I have this beautiful amaryllis flower that somehow managed to bloom again this week for the third year in a row! Trust me, I thought this thing was deader than dead. I honestly can’t even remember the last time I watered it, and yet you can see– it’s a beauty to behold at the moment.
But that’s the thing about amaryllis plants– they’re the heartiest flowers out there. They’re bred to withstand harsh climates, lack of light, neglect… and still come out better than ever!
Kind of like my protagonists, or honestly women in general. You can knock us down– but we’re never out!
What does the name amaryllis mean?
Even the name amaryllis and the symbolism behind it hold special meaning to this analogy. The amaryllis flower derives its name from the Greek word meaning- “to sparkle.” And the stunning flowers are believed to mean pride, strength and determination as they stand tall over all other winter blooms. Yes, they are one of the few flowers that bloom during the winter!
So, now do you see why I love the amaryllis flower? What better way could I represent my company and strong, empowered women?
Have a great weekend everyone- and remember to sparkle!
