Why heliotrope?
A heliotrope is a species of flower that follows the patterns of the sun. The Heliotrope symbolizes the sun, by mirroring its daily course and movement. The property possessed by this flower of turning to follow the Sun’s course, symbolizes the attitude of the lover or of the soul, continuously turning eyes and thoughts towards the beloved. It symbolizes perfection; always stretched out to the contemplative presence which seeks to unite with it.
Heliotrope represents endless love. Often seen as the symbol for eternal love, heliotropes have endured over time to remain a symbol for undying love, salvation, and devotion.
