Rogh/Jorr yam, Shamaar Jaan; da Khudai Fazal sara.
I particularly like the sweet pea and jasmine. And lavenders. Mother's favourite.
Flowers, ha? ... well each tells its own story. For example the narcissus is often dark and shadowy, the poppy, a curious mix of peace, sleep, remembrance and death.
I do like the symbolism of roses beyond that which appears on the surface. You know in the 15th Century the warring factions of Yorkshire and Lancashire for the English throne were represented by roses? And when picking a rose to share with someone we care about we must endure thorns and being stung. All of which makes one understand why Gul is such a popular Pashtoon name. Wonder what stories this man's rose could tell.
