“Nurturing the Dream” By Susan Shelton Mural Imagery Key Top Section: The quotes reflect the overall theme of the mural: the importance of finding a balance between the work we do as students, workers, activists, and caregivers, and the time needed for reflection, nourishment of the spirit and restoration of strength. The large rectangular tiles on pillars A, B, C, D are inspired by Wangari Maathai’s “I Will be a Hummingbird” story. This folk tale poignantly illustrates the importance of doing one’s best, no matter how insignificant our efforts may feel at times, in the face of a seemingly insurmountable task. Pillars: The mural pillars showcase the conceptual and artistic participation of the students and staff of the Student Community Center, and other members of the university community, who were invited to contribute their suggestions for the imagery featured, and who also participated in painting the individual tiles. The tiles represent the various identities, paths, goals, causes and struggles of the students: academic, social, personal and political. Pillar A: 1. World View: North and South America 2. Wi-Fi Symbol/Connectivity 3. Power Symbol in the Digital Age 4. Hands Holding Seedling: Cultivating Hope/Justice/Stewardship 5. Filipino Sun 6. Irish Symbol: Love, Loyalty and Friendship 7.

The Language of Flowers Is Almost As Ancient and Universal a One As That of Speech
T H E LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS; OR, FLORA SYMBOLIC A. INCLUDING FLORAL POETRY, ORIGINAL AND SELECTED. BY JOHN INGRAM. “ Then took he up his garland, And did shew what every flower did signify.” Philaster. Beaumont and Fletcher. WITH ORIGINAL ILLUSTRATIONS, PRINTED IN COLOURS BY TERRY. LONDON AND NEW YORK: FREDERICK WARNE AND CO. 1887. vA^tT Q-R 7 SO XSH mi TO Eliza Coo k THIS VOLUME IS AFFECTIONATELY INSCRIBED BY HER FRIEND THE AUTHOR. o Preface. j^IIE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS has probably called forth as many treatises in explanation of its few and simple rules as has any other mode of communicating ideas; but I flatter myself that this book will be found to be the most complete work on the subject ever published—at least, in this country. I have thoroughly sifted, condensed, and augmented the productions of my many predecessors, and have endeavoured to render the present volume in every re¬ spect worthy the attention of the countless votaries which this “ science of sweet things ” attracts ; and, although I dare not boast that I have exhausted the subject, I may certainly affirm that followers will find little left to glean in the paths that I have traversed. As I have made use of the numerous anecdotes, legends, and poetical allusions herein contained, so Preface. VI have I acknowledged the sources whence they came. It there¬ fore only remains for me to take leave of my readers, with the hope that they will pardon my having detained them so long over a work of this description , but “Unheeded flew the hours, For softly falls the foot of Time That only treads on flowers.” J.

ROSE CLASS Roses
ROSE CLASS Roses • Roses are beautiful flowers that are within the family Rosaceae, and part of the genus Rosa. Rose plants are perennial, while there are over 100 species in existence. Roses are mainly native to Asia, while some are also native to North America, Africa, and Europe. The rose is America’s National Floral Emblem and is also the state flower of Iowa, North Dakota, Georgia, New York and even the District of Columbia. The rose is also England’s national flower. According to fossil evidence in Colorado, the rose is about 35 million years old. Did you know that during World War II, in Germany there was a non-violent resistance group called the White Rose? • Because there are so many different species of roses, they will vary greatly in size and looks. Some can grow up to 20+ feet high, while some are just miniature compact roses. One example is the Miniature Rose, which only grows about 1 to 3 feet high, while the Grandiflora Rose can grow up to 20 feet high. Most species have alternating thorns and leaves going up the stem. The leaves can be anywhere in length from 2 to 6 inches. The flowers can be a variety of different colors as well. From red to peach, pink to lavender, and even white or yellow just to name a few. • This flower can be used in many different industries and products. It can be used for medicinal purposes, food and beverages, bath and body products, hair care, and even skin care. In ancient Egypt, roses were considered the most sacred flower and were used as offerings to the Goddess Isis.

Abstract No Delicate Flower: Victorian Floral Symbolism’s Mediation of Social Issues in Selected Works of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Alfred Tennyson, John Ruskin, and Isabella Bird Bishop examines floral symbols in the writings of four Victorian authors. Although a large body of work exists on the Romantic literary symbol, its Victorian counterpart is often ignored: Barrett Browning, Tennyson, Ruskin, and Bird Bishop use floral symbols in their work as outward-looking instruments, in contrast to the more inward-looking Romantic symbol, to help understand changing social conditions and address real-world concerns.
