Spring is coming

"The daisy Bellis perennis is a symbol of innocentce, modesty, loyalty and newborn babies. It has been used since the 15th century to represent the newborn Jesus and Hail Mary in Western art."
It's a favourite wildflower that thrives in the green spaces of human settlements and even on mild winter days opens its rosy-white flowers. Because of its bright yellow centre, it is also a symbol of the Sun, reinforced by the fact that it closes its petals at night and opens them again the next day in the sunshine. With its persistent flowering, it is also a symbol of hope, so I like to enjoy it. I appreciate the little flowers that bloom tirelessly and pop up everywhere to bring colour into our lives. Daisy has a number of horticultural varieties. What makes it even more special is that you can eat its leaves before flowering and its flowers later on. I recommend the Hungarian-language blog Erdőkóstoló.
Also edible are the flowers of the violet Viola odorata, which can be used to make a very expensive essential oil, among other things.
Go and give yourself to the small pleasures that truly bring you the greatest joy in life.
