Assalamualaikum
Everyone. Here is another interesting topic for all of you. Let's have a look.
Hello Steemit People's!
History Of The Hyacinth Flower
The hyacinth is one of the most well-known flowers in the world. It has a long history that spans centuries and cultures, making it an enduring symbol of love, beauty, and even sorrow. The word "hyacinth" comes from ancient Greek words meaning "flower of spring."
The plant was first cultivated by gardeners during the Roman Empire as early as 300 BC. They were expensive to grow because they required special soil conditions to thrive. Emperor Nero became so enamored with these beautiful flowers that he had them planted all along with his villa at Anzio on Italy's west coast. He named the area "Hyacinthus Primus," or
Hyacinth Primeval Forest, after himself.
Why are hyacinths so popular in mythology and art, despite being a relatively common flower:
Hyacinths are an extremely popular flower in art and mythology. Part of the reason why is because they're so common. You can find hyacinths anywhere from your local flower shop to your backyard garden, but the appeal of this type of flower has spurred many artists and authors to focus on it as a central theme in their creations.
What makes hyacinths so sweet-smelling
Hyacinths are one of the few flowers that have a fragrance that smells good to people, but not necessarily to other creatures. This is because their fragrance comes from an odorless precursor called lyrical, which humans find pleasing while insects find unpleasant.
What are the origins of this flower's name:
Hyacinths are named after the Greek hero Hyacinthus, who was accidentally killed by Apollo. He was loved by both Zephyrus (the god of the wind) and Apollo. The two gods quarreled over his death because Zephyrus felt that Apollo should not have hurt his lover.
