Description

White signifies purity and perfection and can represent a successful beginning. It is no accident that virgins and brides wear white. White symbolizes wholeness, openness, truth and kindness.White enlarges. Whereas too much white is clinical, white becomes warmer when mixed with red or yellow.

When we talk about white color in general then image of peace process aimed at bringing alround calm come to the mind but white flower depicts different meaning. White color in context of flowers means elements of innocence, humility, and reverence, white flowers evoke simple beauty.

Whether they take their shape as the luxurious, silk petals of fragrant gardenias, the small, white bells of a lily of the valley, or the quiet drama of a dozen white roses, fresh floral arrangement dominated by white blossoms conveys modesty and elegance. Never forget the power of white flowers in generating a soothing image of your memorable moment�s surroundings when you are celebrating them.
The legend of the dogwood tree is ancient and has no known definitive origins. The legend has circulated Christian communities for centuries. The most common legend is in the form of a poem that outlines each piece of the tree and the significance of that part. Even though the Bible makes no reference to a dogwood tree that scholars can identify, the poem and the legend states that the dogwood tree provided the wood for the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.Trunk

The Christian dogwood tradition claims that the dogwood tree once grew tall and strong. The Romans chose the wood of a dogwood tree to construct the cross for the crucifixion of Jesus. The tree suffered and was ashamed to have been chosen, so Jesus promised the tree that it would never grow large enough to every serve such a purpose again. The small stature and twisted branches of the dogwood tree symbolize and fulfill the promise that the legend says Jesus gave to the tree.
Flowers.Combined, the four bracts of a dogwood tree take the shape of a cross. The bracts resemble petals, but they are not true petals. At the end of each bract are rust-colored dots that symbolize the bloody nails of the cross. The spikes at the center of the blossom symbolize the crown of thorns Jesus wore during the crucifixion.
Leaves

The leaves of a dogwood tree turn bright red in the fall. The dogwood legend says that these red leaves symbolize the blood spilled at Calvary. The leaves turn red in response to the changing season, like many deciduous trees, but the Christian symbolism of the dogwood tree turns the red of the leaves into a remembrance of innocent blood.

Color

White has been a symbol of purity and innocence for centuries, so the white dogwood blooms represent the purity of Christ. When a dogwood blooms pink, the legend says that the tree is showing its shame at being the tree used in such a manner. A pink tree is blushing to show its shame, symbolizing the sorrow of nature for the events.
