The language of flowers has been recognized for centuries in many countries throughout Europe and Asia. They even play a large role in William Shakespeare’s works. This practice is called floriography.
Mythologies, folklore, sonnets, and plays of the ancient Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, and Chinese are filled with flower and plant symbolism

Whether you’re giving flowers to a mother for Mother’s Day, a friend on their birthday, or a beloved this Valentine’s Day, nearly every sentiment imaginable can be expressed with flowers. The meaning of a flower can depend on its color, type, and the sentiment behind the gift. The orange blossom, for instance, means chastity, purity, and loveliness, while the red rose means “I Love You! ❤️. So, consider sending your Valentines Day message to your special someone in flowers. 💐🌷🌹🪻

Examples of flowers and their meanings:
Red rose: Love, passion, beauty
White violet: Innocence
Purple violet: Love
Aster: Wisdom, devotion, love
Calla lily: Purity, passion, elegance
Chrysanthemum: Loyalty, love, friendship, joy, honesty
Daffodil: Rebirth, new beginnings
Daisy: Innocence, purity, new beginnings
Lily: Purity, virtue, devotion
Orchid: Exotic beauty, strength
Peony: Prosperity, good fortune

The Historic Saluda Committee has some exciting news! We have been notified that upon the recommendation of the members of the Saluda Presbyterian Church, and by unanimous vote of the Presbytery of Western North Carolina, we have been gifted the historic sanctuary of the Saluda Presbyterian Church to be used as a museum. Construction of this beautiful sanctuary began in 1895 and was completed in 1896. It is beautifully intact and been perfectly preserved. Our commitment is to safeguard this property and take proactive measures to ensure its preservation for generations to come.

Since 2010, the HSC has worked tirelessly to preserve the history of Saluda through a variety of means. It has always been our dream to have a museum. We are currently an advisory committee to the City of Saluda, but toward the end of 2024, we began the process to leave the city and transition to a non-profit, 501(c)(3) and will be changing our name to Historic Saluda, Inc. Once this process is final, we will take ownership of the church. Much more information will follow as we take this monumental step. Please follow along as we progress. We need your support! We greatly appreciate the support of the City of Saluda as they are assisting us in the process to transition to a non-profit.
