The beauty of flowers also helped create mythology and culture.
In ancient Greece, flowers were always connected to Myths, Gods, Nymphs, Heroes, and Fairies. Anemones sprung from the blood of the wounded hero Adonis, the Narcissus is associated with Narcissus - the man who fell in love with his own image. The laurel tree is associated with the nymph Daphne etc. etc.
Almost every tree and flower was associated with a myth.
