Description
I'll tell you the story:
* Red amarilis * - is a flower that carries a legend. The legend says that the amalus was created as a shameless nymph. Amarilis was in love with Altea, who was a shepherd as strong as Hercules and beautiful as Apollo. Unfortunately, her feelings were unresponsive. So he offered him what he knew and he wanted more than anything else: a flower that does not exist anywhere. Amaralis asked for the help of the prophet, and, hearing his advice, managed to find what he was looking for. She was dressed all in white, she appeared at Alta's door 30 nights in a row, every time tapping her heart with the arrow. When Alteo finally opened the door, he saw a dark red flower, colored with blood from the Amarilisian heart. This, though cynical, but romantic story brings the true meaning of this flower. Today, red amaryllis is considered a symbol of pride and glorious love. So if you want to show someone you really love him, this is the flower you need to give.
