Language of Flowers Column Vol. 13 | Marigold

At HANA GARDEN TOKYO, we cherish the sentiments and flower meanings behind the gifts we provide.
This time, we are introducing the "marigold," known for its vivid orange and yellow hues.

Often called "Mary's Gold" since ancient times, it has been cherished in Europe as a sacred flower.
Characterized by its sun-like color and distinct fragrance, it brightens gardens from summer through autumn.

The flower meanings of the marigold are…
・"Jealousy," "Grief"
・"Everlasting love," "Health"
※It is a unique flower that carries both negative and positive meanings, as interpretations vary by color and country.

For instance…
・Yellow: "Health," "Friendship"
・Orange: "Prophecy," "The courage of a hero"

It is a recommended choice for well-wishes, new beginnings, or expressing friendship.
It would be wonderful to choose a color that best suits the recipient.
