Gemini
Love, Grounded
Lobelia is a primarily low-growing plant primarily grown as an annual but some varieties are biennial and can grow up to 4 feet.The low-growing blue variety that is used as garden edging has tiny flowers with five petals. It blooms continuously in the summer up to the first frost. The continuous bloom cycle, given somewhat moderate weather, is symbolic of the steadfastness that is required for the attribute of love. The vibrant purple color is also symbolic of the heart area, or heart chakra, which is associated with a person's ability to receive and give love.
The concept of love has as many interpretations as there are
people. The concept of love referenced here is one that means giving
and receiving in appreciation, without conditions and attachments. It
speaks of the continuous appreciation one has for self, and the
continuous love given to others. It brings to us all of the reminders in life that we are loved by our ancestors and by the creator. Lobelia stops blooming when the
weather is too hot; the energy this flower brings is not the kind of
love that burns hot or cold but is the type of love that is a constant
foundation for life. For example, Lobelia brings the emotion of love one
feels when holding a sleeping baby. If you chose to border your garden
with Lobelia, you are creating an area of love and appreciation. If
you have a strong affinity to these plants and flowers along with the
color purple, you are one who finds it easy to love others.You may be
someone who was born with an unlimited well of love and was encouraged
to or was able to keep that love flowing into adulthood. And as with
most who find it easy to love others, you have self love and know your
own value.
