Liliac

I painted a bouquet of lilacs in August and thought that spring’s favorite flowers can be seen all year round. I found a Scandinavian legend, so I’m sharing this story with you. The lilac was created by the goddess of spring. She awakened the sun and the rainbow iris, mixed their rays and began to shower the earth from south to north. And immediately bright flowers appeared everywhere – in the meadows, in the clearings, on the branches of the trees. But when the Goddess reached Scandinavia, of all the colors of the rainbow, only violet and a few white sunbeams remained. She threw them on the bushes growing there. The branches were immediately covered with fragrant clusters of purple and white flowers that covered the bushes so luxuriantly that the leaves were not even visible. Thus, all the northern lands were covered with purple and white lilacs.
The lilac is a symbol of pure, radiant love.
