Plant symbolism

Plant symbolism involves using plants to represent ideas, emotions, or concepts, often reflecting their characteristics or cultural associations. For example, a lotus symbolizes purity and spiritual awakening, while a thorny rose may represent love and pain. These symbolic meanings help convey messages in art, literature, and rituals without words. Plants are powerful symbols because they are familiar, varied, and connected to life cycles, growth, and nature's resilience, making them meaningful tools for expressing different human experiences and values across cultures.
