The Origin of Preserved Flowers-The Flower of Eternal Love

The story of the origin of the preserved flower is a touching and beautiful one. It tells the story of a deeply in love couple who were about to part ways. The boy needed to go to war to defend his homeland and family. This farewell might be a permanent one. The boy left the girl with a freshly picked rose and a sealed letter, telling her that when the last petal falls from the bouquet of roses, it will be the moment when she forgets him and begins her new life.

The girl put the bouquet of roses in a vase and prayed to God every day with her hands folded in front of her chest. Bloody news kept coming, and the roses slowly lost their dew and fragrance, but the girl never received any word from the boy. Strangely, not a single petal fell from the roses in the vase. Finally, on a clear morning, the boy returned to the girl's doorstep in a triumphant warrior's robe, with accumulated scars. They held hands and walked together for the rest of their lives. And there was the bouquet of withered but still upright roses.

This story of the lucky lovers has been passed down. In Europe, as long as a boy and a girl fall in love, they will keep a bouquet of roses or put the petals in the Bible or make everlasting flowers that will never wither, praying for happiness and luck like them, until eternity. This is also the flower language and meaning of the preserved flower, representing "unchanging love," "everlasting happiness," and "beauty that lasts forever."

Preserved flowers can maintain their beautiful appearance for more than three years, symbolizing "timeless love," "forever happiness," and "eternal beauty." Giving preserved flowers to a girl on Valentine's Day not only expresses love but also makes a promise of "a lifetime together."
