Awakening – A Crocus Lover’s Delight
Enjoy this celebration of the crocus and all its symbolism through my new painting “Awakening” & photography.
What Does the Crocus Mean?
As one of the first flowers to poke its head through the snow in the spring, the crocus is a messenger of hope, new life, new beginnings.
It also reminds me of Easter because of its timing – a Christian celebration of resurrection with much of the same symbolism.
And even if the crocus gets buried again and again by those spring flurries and storms, it emerges triumphant to open its lightbulb shaped bloom into a radiant cup – open and ready to receive the light no matter what.
Symbol rebirth and often the first splash of colour after a long winter, this beauty has added layers of meaning according to its colour:
- purple crocus: success, dignity
- white crocus: innocence, purity, truth
- yellow crocus: joy, good cheer
May the crocus flowers in this video be a reminder that it’s OK to stand out, tall and proud in all your colours.
And may they spread their cheer in your heart no matter your inner weather today.
