These two have been my favourite flowers since I was a little girl. Never really gave it a thought why, of thousands, I'd pick the very two. And why must one be black and another white -- subconscious fascination to Yin and Yang perhaps? I don't know.
The first thing I could think of is that these two are quite rare. OK, I was told there's no such thing as naturally black rose, the closest is very dark red or roses dyed black. It doesn't matter. As for the white orchids, they're hardest to find in local flower nurseries. I once went all over Klang Valley to find one, but there was none. Maybe it wasn't my luck that day. Whatever.
I thought about this while preparing a write up for my boss on effects of colours in presentations. To be honest, after half a day researching I'm only at 5% with the write up. And that 5% is actually my boss' outline. Maybe I should go out and dance more? =____= Oh well, since I have 15 more minutes before end of my working day, might as well make myself look busy right? What should I do? Let's see, let's see...
Right. Found some interesting meaning to the flowers. Here are the shortest and simplest I can copy and paste here:
Black Rose (from Wikipedia):
The black rose's quality of being a rare flower renders it an apt symbol of profound love, or other such things of a rare nature. It also is the symbol of rebirth especially a rebirth of a beauty. A rebirth of the mind.
White Orchid (from Yahoo Answers):
Orchids are the symbol of mature charm. The white means innocence and sweetness.
Combining the two, what do I get? Why don't you tell me?
