Floral Meanings: Chrysanthemums symbolize loyalty, friendship, joy and good luck. The Chinese and Japanese view the chrysanthemum as a sign of youth. It was believed to allow people to live longer and keep their bodies healthier. According to folklore, one chrysanthemum petal at the bottom of a glass of wine would promote longevity.

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.
