1月17日生日花：银莲花，银莲花，修道院生活之父圣安特尼的花。自古以来，教会便将圣人与特定花朵相连，这源于在纪念圣人时点缀祭坛的习惯。在中世纪的天主教修道院中，有着种植各种花朵的园艺中心，就这样形成了所谓的“花历”。366天内，每个圣人的生日都被赋予了一种特殊的植物。当时的大部分修道院位于南欧地区，这里的地中海气候极适合栽种和养护植物。因此，银莲花成为了祭祀修道院生活之父圣安特尼的典型代表。这是一种结实且多年生的草本植物，从法国到希腊克雷特岛都能见到它，而特别是在橄榄树园里，它更为常见尤其是野生状态。

1月17日生日 花语：期待

silver lily, silver lily, the flower of St. Anthony's life in the monastery. Since ancient times, the church has linked saints with specific flowers, derived from the practice of decorating altars with blooming flowers during saintly celebrations. In medieval Catholic monasteries, these gardens were like centers for cultivating various flowers and plants, eventually forming what is called a "Flower Calendar". The majority of these monasteries were located in southern Europe where Mediterranean climates are ideal for planting and nurturing flora. Henceforth, Saint Anthony was honored with Silver Lily as his symbol.

The Greek name for silver lilies means "wind", while they grow between 10 to 20 centimeters tall as annual herbaceous plants. During flowering season, their adorable blooms sway gently in the breeze like they're eagerly awaiting something; thus their symbolic meaning is "expectation". For those born under this flower's blessing are romantic and dreamers though it's important to remember that reality isn't always so rosy!
