#4: 29 June — Peace Lily

This lily radiates a special energy of peacefulness, hence its name. Its white color symbolizes innocence, purity, secrecy, and reverence.

This flower is very special to me, since I acquired one plant for my late dog, Gala. Today is five months since she died, and I deemed appropriate to write about her flower in loving memory.

Shortly after her passing, I was walking around a plant nursery when this plant caught my eye. There was a special energy, a special feeling, something… I glimpsed at the flower’s white color that contrasted the dark green leaves. I searched for the tag to learn what kind of plant it was, and it read Peace Lily... Somehow, I was profoundly moved… probably due to the recentness, or probably the plant’s energy matched mine, or a mix of feelings and thoughts…

So, I decided to bring the Peace Lily home for Gala. It’s her flower.
