Pinks Myths, History and Ledgends
Pinks have a long history as a flower of religious symbolism with a variety of culinary, medicinal, and aromatic uses. The name dianthus was given by the Greek botanist Theophrastus. Dianthus means divine (dios) flower (anthos). The relationship to the divine might reference Artemis and a story portraying the irrational anger of a goddess. Artemis was hunting when a shepherd playing an instrument frightened her quarry. In a fit of anger, Artemis tore out the shepherd’s eyes. However, her anger passed like a summer shower and she immediately felt sorry for her anger. Her remorse resulted in beautiful flowers that bloomed in the place of the man’s lost eyes.
Tie a few stems of pinks with the raffia that comes with them to create a pretty table place setting.
