The Petunia,
a genus of 40 species of annual or perennial herbaceous plants
is a popular garden plant. A native of South America, it belongs
to the family Solanaceae. Most Petunias are hybrids. The flowers
are large, trumpet-shaped in white, pink, purple, mauve and sometimes
veined and striped. The leaves are oval or round and of pale to
mild green colour.
Gardening
Petunia is a very versatile
plant. It can be grown in pots, in beds, as borders, in boxes,
hanging baskets, rock gardens. There are single and double varieties,
both very popular. They need very rich soil. The doubles are propagated
by cuttings, the singles by tiny seeds mixed with sand and sown
in seed pans. Watering should be done judiciously with a fine
rose-can.
Spiritual Significances
The Mother as we know
has given spiritual significances to flowers. Sometimes, when
the same flower is found in a variety of colours and forms the
meaning undergoes subtle changes in nuances. This is strikingly
evident for Petunia.
While the general significance
of Petunia is 'Enthusiasm', for the single and double flowers
and the many shades of colours, each variety has its own special
significance. It can be a joy and a fulfilling experience to delve
deeper into the deeper meaning of these names and to try to feel
their vibrations.
