Floral Meanings: Gladiolus is a symbol of strength, victory, healing, and honor. It has also been associated with moral character, remembrance, and intelligence.

Romans would cover the winning gladiator in the blooms, and later in Victorian times, romantics believed that the beauty of the gladiolus could pierce another’s heart with love. The flower also came to symbolize infatuation and love at first sight.

Although posinous to humans and animals in England, people once sprinkled larkspur in baths for protection against ghosts and magic.

In my birth flower collection I explore my love of herbalism, energy healing and nature all combined on a delicate, unique frame. These soul flowers will bring a peaceful, magical energy into your home.

I started painting birth flowers right after my birthday. Simple asters connecting me back to childhood, memory, and ancestory. I realized it was just another talisman or expression of how I saw myself (aka. A little Virgo baby just trying to get by 😂

It sparked a whole collection as my gift to you. A delicate, tangible representation of how we see ourselves in the natural world to surround us in beauty, as we strive to feel a little less alone.
