Flower language and plant culture of morning glory

The flower language of morning glory

Morning glory is a climbing plant. Its slender and delicate body grows slowly, which is very similar to its name. Dependence for survival, mutual help and busy growth are the flower language of morning glory, symbolizing its unremitting spirit of climbing for survival.

Plant Culture of Ipomoea batatas

The so-called plant culture is actually the story behind this plant and the cultural meaning it has been given by humans. For example, plum can symbolize purity, chrysanthemum can symbolize nobility, and morning glory actually symbolizes upwardness. The origin of the name of morning glory also has a long history. There was a description of morning glory in the ancient Chinese classic "The Book of Songs". In fact, in ancient times, morning glory represented mistletoe, and Luo was female morning glory, which represented dodder. "Night glory" is a conclusion between these two plants in terms of expression, and has similarities in the expressions of both, so the name of morning glory has spread since then.

In addition to being endowed with cultural stories by literati and poets, the climbing growth form of morning glory is often used as a metaphor to represent the unity and dependence between family brothers.

The posture and culture of morning glory

The leaves of morning glory are very slender and long like rows of needles. It blooms a pentagonal red flower with scattered white stamens among the buds, which contrast with the emerald green plant, just like shining stars scattered on a fluorescent blanket.
