Angelica and Inspiration: A Flower-Language Reference

  • by

In Kate Greenaway's Language of Flowers, the entry for Angelica reads: Inspiration.

A creative association with limits

Angelica's assigned message can suit a note to someone whose ideas or encouragement have mattered to you. The strongest version names the contribution: a useful suggestion, an example of persistence or an invitation to try something new.

This is a literary association in a named dictionary. It is not evidence that the plant creates inspiration, improves concentration or has a particular effect on wellbeing. Keep the meaning distinct from any claims about using or consuming the plant.
