Chapter 242: Cleared Misunderstanding
Talia knew she won’t be able to ’interrogate’ her great grandmother like she would do with Mr.Ed and held back all her questions. She decided to casually get closer to her great grandmother and gather informations slowly.
As they walked through the garden, her great grandmother brought her to a particular place that was fenced and kept in very prim and proper state in the garden. There was a big fountain at the centre of that little garden and some gazebos too.
Talia was pleasantly surprised by the garden of Arum Lily in that area. As spring was approaching, the plants all looked fresh and lush and they looked like they’d bloom soon. Talia could only imagine how pretty this place would look when they all bloom.
And there were many potted Lily of the Valley plants that are yet to flower and also many varieties of Lilies that were maintained for years.
Lilies? Are those flowers in remembrance of Princess Lillian?
Talia walked through the garden and there were some bleeding heart trees and since it was not the season for their bloom, they were just filled with leaves by now.
And there was a part of the garden that seemed newly formed that had rows and rows of Juliet Rose and other garden rose plants.
After walking with the Dowager for a while, she went to visit her grandfather. As she was walking to the cottage her grandfather’s staying, she checked the meaning of the flowers in her phone.
Most were lilies that meant innocence, grace and purity which were the qualities associated with Princess Lillian. And she was surprised to learn the meaning of Lily of the Valley - ’return with happiness’.
Did great grandmother wished happy returns of her daughter?
And the bleeding heart tree represented deep love, compassion and sorrow. Talia was amazed how the same flowers can represent eternal love and also the rejection of love too. This flowers represented the rejection of love by a very dear person which sent the other person to deep sorrow.
