119 DIFFIDENCE. Cyclamen. — Cyclamen. As modest diffidence adds attractions to beauty, so does this graceful flower engage our notice by its unassuming carriage, for the cyclamen, although it expands its petals in an upright direction, never rears its head to the sun. We present this emblem with a hope that the poets will not longer remain too diffident to let this pretty plant escape the harmony of their song, since we cannot find a line to form a motto, or grace the floral symbol of dif- fide...nce. " Distress makes the humble heart diffident " The church has dedicated this flower to St. Romuald. 120 FLORAL EMBLEMS. DIGNITY. L A u R E L- 1- E A \ E D M A G N o L 1 A . — MaguoUa grandiflora . The grandeur of this flower is appropriate to the elevated station which it takes in the vegetable kingdom, for in its native soil it advances itself above the forest trees, display- ing its dignity, and dispensing its fragrance throughout the woods of Florida. It is remarked by an elegant writer that " some men have a native dignity, which will procure them more regard by a look, than others can obtain by the most imperious commands." FLORAL EMBLEMS.
