Orchid
The orchid symbolises summer, femininity and elegance.
“If you are in a cheerful mood, paint an orchid, for its leaves seem to fly and soar freely through the air. The buds open gracefully and serenely, and everything about that flower expresses happiness.” Chüeh Yin
Orchid, bamboo, plum and chrysanthemum represent the KI, or vital energy, of the four seasons and the four stages of human life. They are considered the “Four Nobles”.
