The psychology, symbolism and cultural history of Heather.
In Western cultures, heather symbolizes admiration and good luck, often featured in wedding bouquets. Contrastingly, in some Asian cultures, it may represent fleeting beauty, emphasizing the transient nature of life and love.
The term 'heather' originates from the Old English word 'haether', used since at least the 13th century to describe the flowering plant. This color gained popularity in home decor and fashion during the late 19th century as a nod to the romanticized landscapes of the Scottish Highlands.
