Royal Glory

The color red is very symbolic. From ancient times to present day, the color red is one of intense emotion. A few common associations with the color red is: passion, love, courage, loyalty, fire, sacrifice, beauty, honor, danger and happiness.

Red is the tradition color of the bridal dress in India. In Japan, red is symbolic of a heroic figure. In Central Africa, some warriors rub themselves in red as a symbol of life and health. In America, a red car has a higher percentage of getting in an accident, than any other color of vehicle. As you can see the range of symbolic meaning, suggested by the color red spans cultural association and era limitations.

I believe this is a Red Salvia.  I am sure you have seen this flowering plant, also known as Scarlet Sage in yards and gardens throughout many areas of North America. It is a pretty annual that brightens any patio, garden or backyard enclosure.

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

“Whatever you enjoy doing, do it with gusto!” tc
