I have been thinking of a project to help motivate myself in life.


Here are the kinds of flowers I'm looking for:

1. A flower that either grows or glows in the dark. One that thrives in darkness. This is symbolic of the ability for people to grow in the darkness, or the unknown. That no matter how dark things get, growth can occur here. And while it might be scary, it can also be beautiful.
2. A flower that can grow in the heat, and maybe one that only releases seeds after a forest fire. Im thinking of something related to a phoenix here. The idea is resurrection. The ability to come back to life after death. Shedding your old self and blooming into something new-and beautiful.
3. A flood-resistant flower. This symbolizes the ability to withstand the floods life throws your way. When things dont go as planned and everything washes away, you can either drown, or ride the wave.
4. A "dragon" flower. This is symbolic of beating or taming your "Dragons". The big fears in life that must be acknowledged my everyone but people are afraid of facing. The thing that hides the very treasure you seek. Im thinking a dragon flower of some kind, ive bought a dragons breath flower before for this.
5. A rose. This is to symbolize that in order to grow into something beautiful, you need to grow some teeth. or in this case, thorns. If you were only beautiful youd be a flower, but a rose is a rose because of its thorns.


If anyone is willing to help me think of some flowers that would match these descriptions that would be neat. I plan on making a small square or circular pot holder with pots that hold seeds for each flower. the goal is to get into a habit and water my seeds of growth. the idea that all of these things need to be groomed to make me into the best me.
