This is a GLADIOLUS flower.... pretty isn't it? In the movies, we sometimes see people give red roses to show love, white roses to show sincerity, and yellow as friendship. The look, colour and structure of the flower does look like it symbolizes something.. Roses have thorns, most of 'em are red.. so it can mean: LOVE & PASSION~~

So here i was just now, trying to google on what to post in my new blog.. (haha.. sgt skema??!).. then i came upon The Language of Flowers. Zahra is my name... Zahra means flower.. I'm a flower... (i really like my name. thnx parents ^^).. I scroll on the page about the language of flower until i saw GLADIOLUS.. the page didn't have any pictures, so i wasn't attracted to the flower based on how they look. I stumble upon this one by its name: G-L-A-D-I-O-L-U-S...

When i read the language that it holds, i felt somehow connected to it. It says: I hv a strong character! I showed remembrance, infatuation, splendid beauty, really sincere.. I'm the flower of the Gladiators. I brought to you admiration coz i tell the recipients that they pierce the heart like a sword. Somehow i felt it resembles me...

When i searched into it further, this is what i found...It is also the birth flower of August. Because the gladiolus has blade-shaped leaves, the name comes from the Latin word gladius which means sword. Wow~~ it does look powerful. Besides...red is my favourite colour ^^
