Staff Kalon 2024 - Purple Crocus

Postby Madziu » Mon Jan 20, 2025 10:36 am

A little late but, better late than never right? <3
I love the colour purple (one of the few anyways haha) and well crocuses are such pretty flowers and one of the first few we see when the snow melts. (Any time soon would be nice???)

Now onto the prompt. Following the flower theme, tell me what flowers this Kalon would put into a bouquet and who they would give it to?

You are free to write (500 words max) or make an art piece.


End Date: February 2nd @11:59 pm EST

    Kalon Name: Az
    Prompt:
    This bouquet would be filled with wildflowers-- You might think crocus, but she’d choose a yellow and white theme-- buttercups, dandelions, white cistus, Queen Anne’s lace, chocolate daisies, and maybe a bit of blue, like forget-me-nots. Az is a very deep thinker and cares a lot about symbolism. She’s not the kind of Kalon to give flowers to a crush or partner for romantic reasons, she feels that flowers should be for something deeper. This particular bouquet would be for someone struggling. The dandelions are her wish for health, hope, and healing. The white cistus would be her recognizing the sadness and grief of the Kalon receiving the flowers, she feels it’s important to recognize people’s emotions, even in her bouquets. Both the chocolate daisy and the buttercups would be representative of hope and happiness. Despite the struggles, there are chances in the future for this to be better. The Queen Anne's lace would be Az telling the receiver of the flowers that she is someone they can talk to and find peace with. The forget-me-nots are something to help this bouquet stand out, but also represents her respect for the Kalon she’s giving these to.
    The bouquet itself would be wrapped in some sort of recycled paper. Although she would prefer something more aesthetic, her interests in those things are not as strong as her interests in sustainability. She feels strongly about being as environmentally conscious as possible. The flowers themselves would either be from a local farm or something she grew in her backyard herself, so as to not disrupt local wildlife. She’d wrap it with a small piece of twine and a handwritten note, and, not being one for many words, write something simple like “I wish you well,” hoping her choice in flowers would represent all she couldn’t say.
    This particular bouquet would go to a close friend, someone struggling with loss. It would represent the possibility for joy, the inevitability of grief and sadness, and Az’s respect for her friend’s loss.
    Az would be a big flower nerd-- I bet before she makes her bouquet, she would go to her personal collection of flower symbolism books before even touching a flower, wanting to send the perfect message-- any bouquet she makes, for any purpose, would have an equal amount of thought put into it, she just flowers that much!
    (Thank you so much for the opportunity, this prompt was so much fun :D )

Kalon Name: Karma
Prompt: Karma would include hellebore, tulips, and lilies in their bouquet, given lovingly to their best friend. The flowers may not have been given with the knowledge of what each flower means, but the sentiment is still there. Their best friend appreciates the flowers all the same.
