Daisy Garland
The Philippine National Flower
Flowers aren’t only judged mainly because of its physical features as well as its popularity in the market such as roses, daisies, tulips, sunflowers, orchids and many other popular flowers. There are also flowers that, even if it’s features aren’t as grand as a rose or aren’t as vibrantly colored as an orchid, have been held in such high regard that some countries made it as their own national flower. One particular example is with the Philippine’s
Sampaguita
.
The Philippine National Flower
The
Sampaguita
, or Arabian Jasmine, is a species of jasmine native to southwestern and southern Asia including India, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, and more particularly in the Philippines. This flower is known in many names aside from
Sampaguita
flower Philippine
. These include:
Bel/Beli
(Bengali),
Mogra
(Hindi and Marathi),
Mallik?
(Sanskrit),
Kampupot
,
Melati
(Malay and Indonesian Language),
Mallepuvvu
(Telugu),
Mallikaipu
(Tamil),
dundu Mallige
(Kannada) and
Kaliyan
(Urdu). In the Philippines the flower is known as
sampaguita
and was adopted by the government as its national flower in 1937. Philippines chose this flower as their own national flower mainly because of its petite features, as well as with its white color that usually symbolizes purity and hope. Some have even stated that the
Sampaguita
flower Philippine
also symbolize the purity of love. This was mainly because of a legend that depicts the origin of the flower,
Sampaguita
. As the legend goes, there were two lovers, Lakambini and Lakam Galing. Before Lakam Galing went off to battle to defend their land, the two exchanged the words,
Sumpa kita
(I promise you), a promise of their undying love. Lakam Galing was killed in battle and when Lakambini heard of the news, she died of grief. At her grave site, there soon sprouted a vine that bore fragrant white flowers, a symbol of her purity and untainted love.
Uses
Filipinos string the flowers into leis, corsages and crowns and distill its oils and sell them in stores, streets, and outside churches. The garlands may be used to welcome guests, or as an offering or adornment in religious altars. Its oil is believed to be a cure for headache. In Hawaii, the flower is known as “pikake”, and is used to make fragrant leis. In South India,jasmines are strung into thick strands and worn as a hair adornment. In China, the flower is processed and used as the main ingredient in jasmine tea. For more information visit to our website at http://www.myflowerdepot.com
