Although she is now an old actress who suffered from various gossip, Mia Farrow always comes to mind when looking at a lisianthus. It’s too fragile to say it’s as elegant as Grace Kelly, and flower petals are so innocent and cute to say that it’s as pure as Audrey Hepburn. In particular, it resembles Mia Farrow so much in the movie that their images sometimes overlap

Eustoma exaltatum (L.) Salisb. as Lisianthius glaucifolius Jacq.

Lisianthus is not too glamorous, too pure, nor too elegant, but it’s a beautiful and lovely flower that will make one say, “What a beautiful flower!” One day, it stealthily took the throne from the rose, the queen of flowers, and now has become an equally popular flower in bouquets for people to send to their lovers.

It grows up to 30 to 120cm and its stem is upright, and it is separated into 1 or 2 years. The flowers are large with long stalks. It is famous for having unique colors with purple, white, celadon green, and light pink. Although it is now seen throughout the year, it used to only be a purple flower that was rare to find (refer to Naver Encyclopedia).

The floriography is also quite beautiful. It has a noble meaning of “everlasting love” but it can also mean “a flower beautiful together.” It sounds so warm. One may proudly nod in agreement that it the flower is everlastingly beautiful, but the saying, “beautiful together,” evokes warmth with its virtue of humility. We live together in this world and it would be a better place if people could live with such a mindset. Just like the lisianthus flower.
