Fragile and unpredictable, yet at the same time vibrant and full of surprises, flora has always aroused human imagination, while transferred into works of art and literature, plants, especially flowering ones, eventually attained the gift of language imparted to them by man, expressed through symbols. Depending on the context, a blossom in a portrait could hint to the viewer whether the subject was alive or dead, shed light on their biography or foreboding destiny, while plants in images with the Virgin Mary or saints conveyed specific stages in their lives and their relationship with the Almighty. A poppy in the gathered folds of a woman\u2019s robe, or a lily in the hand of a servant of God \u2013 no flower is incidental. And then there\u2019s the floral still lifes and abundant wreaths, reflecting the economic power of an individual or a country, or religious and social tensions. The language of flowers is inexhaustible and timeless.
