This image shows framed artwork of a digital painting depicting two large yellow lilies, surrounded by vines with vibrant green leaves, and an ornate antique-style border. The design has a vintage aesthetic, inspired by Victorian-era posters. There is a ribbon-style banner across the center and woven around the lilies. The word "Lily" is written in the banner in elegant vintage-style type. The entire design features an ornamental border with orange-colored flowers in the corners. At the top of the border are the words 'Yellow Lily Meaning'. Written at the bottom is the phrase 'Gratitude & Happiness'. The elegant vintage-style font of the text in the border matches the word 'Lily' in the center. At the bottom of the image is a wide black band. Written in the band is the title of the art, "Tiger Lilies Mean Protection and Prosperity Vintage-Style Design Distressed Brown Background", the name of the artist, Heather Benedict, and the link to purchase a print of the art on the website Fine Art America.

Promotional card for Substack post, with an ornate Roman glass with a borage sprig laid over it. "Ego Borago gaudia semper ago: Borage brings joy, thanks to Pliny the Elder and overlooked Flemish botanist Rembert Dodoens."
BORAGE... who knew John Gerard was a filthy plagiarist? Who puts herbs in their summer wine? Many secrets in this fluffy little flower now on my #substack - open.substack.com/pub/glossaho... #floriography #languageofflowers #botany #history #victorianera #pliny #foodhistory
Hi, hello. I am trying to give this #substack thing a go. Here is a post on turnips, charity, Henry Phillips, officer of arms John Guillim, and a little about John Gay. #heraldry #floriography #languageofflowers

Posting white lily of the valley 🤍
For purity and humility.
For sweetness and the return of happiness.
For renewal and hope -

#LanguageofFlowers was popularized in #VictorianEngland 19thC. However, it comes from earlier #traditions in the #MiddleEast and #Turkey.
In this tradition, a #white #rose signifies #purity, #innocence, and #reverence—often used to express remembrance or new beginnings.
#SNOW is coming... #flowers
Burgundy red dahlia flower with a bright yellow button center.
Joan's #dahlia SO beautiful.
"... in the #languageofflowers, a #reddahlia symbolizes #strength, #power, and #perseverance. #Dahlias also generally represent #elegance, #commitment, and a sense of #dignity, with red specifically emphasizing the recipient's ability to #risefromadversity.
Oc art! My friend and I's ocs we made like 6 or 7 years ago.
Digital painting on procreate, trying to draw with composition and colours more at the forefront of my mind.
