The Purple Flower – Taste&Savour

• In Native American cultures, the purple flower symbolises healing, transformation, and spiritual wisdom. The legend often involves a hero who embarks on a journey to find a rare purple flower to cure a great illness or restore balance to the land.
• The purple lotus is a sacred symbol in Hindu and Buddhist traditions. In Buddhism, it represents mystical spiritual awakening and enlightenment. The color purple emphasizes the transcendence of the material world and the pursuit of spiritual wisdom.
• In Greek mythology, when Adonis dies, the goddess Aphrodite mourns him, and his blood is said to mix with nectar to create purple flowers (often associated with anemones). The purple flowers symbolise love, loss, and the transformation of grief into beauty.
