Creation of Flowers

At the beginning of time, darkness and chaos reigned. Then, two small flames fell onto the Earth, one golden and the other bronze. From them two creatures were born: Sazu, a giant with black eyes and hair as dark as the night and Armoni, a beautiful woman with eyes as blue as the sea and long golden hair as indomitable as chaos.

Sazu immediately realized that he felt a strong feeling for Armoni, so one day he decided to go and look for a gift for his beloved, to show her the love he felt towards her, but he couldn't find anything in the world that could be all height, or remotely comparable, to its beauty.

So he decided to go to Aphrodite for advice on what he could give to his other half and she advised him to create something special, unique and colorful, so as to surprise and conquer her. Sazu thought about it and, while he was thinking sitting on a small rock next to a river, he picked up a blade of grass and there he combined the white wings of butterflies that fluttered around it, thus creating the daffodils.

Not satisfied however, he picked another blade of grass, this time combining it with the pink leaves of the spring cherry trees, leading to the creation of red roses. Its sweet scent intoxicated his mind, immediately conquering him with its light notes. He particularly liked this last flower because, according to him, it seemed that that intense and passionate color perfectly represented all the love he felt for the girl.

When Armoni saw that rose, so delicate and perfect, she understood how much he loved and cared about her. Sazu also showed her the other flowers he had created thinking of her and together they decided to create others of various shapes, sizes and colours, with the aim of planting them around the world and creating wonderful gardens.

Precisely these creations, the fruit of their imagination and the infinite love they feel for each other, gave rise to all the species of flowers that we still know and that bloom every day, coloring the immense green meadows of various bright colors and inebriating the world with their scents.
