from darkness, beauty arises > flowers and protest

In learning more and more about flowers and varieties, I started thinking about flowers and their symbolic meaning. Flowers have been a part of social movements all over the globe. These are flowers that have been symbols of recognition, protest, and pride. Some are named for leaders and others have been carried in parades and protests. Still others have been worn to signal to other like minded people and to represent love.
