Orchid & Rose: Daniel and Iyad
Rose
Orchid
Meaning: The Rose is very beautiful from far away but you have to be careful when you get close to it because it has some thorns that can hurt you if you aren’t careful how you handle it.
The orchid is white which is the color of purity, cleanliness, and innocence. But you have to be careful because they are easily damaged or “tainted”.
Quotes: “He found what a grotesque thing a rose is and how raw the sunlight was upon the scarcely created grass.” (Rose)
“…an evening dress tangled among dying orchids on the floor beside her bed.”(Orchid)

I totally agree with you about the rose and the orchid. The white color represents purity and wealth while the red rose is beautiful but it can bite back.

its like saying that someone can be like a rose and be a threat and the white can say that a person can be a good wealthy person yet they can be broken easily.

i love the explinations of orchids and roses. and it applies in life today. you can be the purest and still be tempted.

Innoncence and purity, like the orchid, is frail and fragile and easily destroyed. Dying orchids would represent the death of such innocence or the acceptance of impurity.
The rose on the other hand, is much more durable, but still without it's imperfections. As beautiful and intricate as the rose, it can hurt you easier than any other flower.
