Thistle Do Nicely

$16.50

Simple yet elegant, thistles have long been the floral embelm of what was once the Kingdom of Scotland. As a matter of fact, the Scottish Thistle is the oldest recorded National Flower and is probably one of the most well-known and easily recognized symbols of Scotland today.

The characteristics of the flower holds symbolism from more than one perspective. The flower itself is a symbol of an enlightened person – a person who has gained their crown. Because the flower head is purple, there is added power in its symbolism.  The color purple has long been a sign of royalty, high rank, justice, wealth and dignity. The thistle is also an ancient Celtic symbol of nobility of character and birth.

Taken from an old Irish Blessing about shamrocks, the designer has modified this blessing as a tribute to Scotland and the mighty thistle.
