Lilac (Syringa vulgaris)
State Flower of New Hampshire
Symbolism: First Love, Renewal
Syringa vulgaris
Native to the scrublands of southeast Europe, the Lilac is known as not just a lovely sight, but a medicinal, culinary, and aromatic delight as well. The powdery, gentle scent of the Lilac adds an aroma of calm and can only be captured through cold extraction, as the delicate scent dissipates in heat. Lilac blossoms can be soaked in honey or sugar water to infuse into floral syrups, beloved in the springtime and often used in teas for cold remedies.
Their antioxidant rich blossoms can be concocted into fabulous skincare toners, creams, and more and add a glow to the skin.
In Greek mythology, Syringa (the Lilac’s Latin name) was a fair forest nymph courted by the amorous Pan. Fleeing his attention, she transformed herself into the flower to escape his advances. This is why I drew her running!
Pan, seeing the beautiful and unfamiliar plant, cut off a branch of the hard, hollow wood to fashion into a Syrinx, a wind instrument, and was known to regularly play it thereafter, keeping her with him.
