Bouquet recipe: Agape, for universal love
Kindness in a bouquet
Love comes in many forms. The ancient Greeks distinguish no fewer than eight types of love. Agape is one of them: a universal love for everything that exists and lives. Is this the love you want to celebrate on Valentine's Day? Then we have a suitable love bouquet for you.
Agape: universal love
Agape is unconditional love; an all encompassing, selfless type. This love is also seen as universal kindness, a yearn for wanting the best for other people, nature and the world as a whole. The ancient Greek philosophers believed that this love always surrounds us.
The Agape bouquet
In an Agape bouquet, every flower – from clematis to delphinium – is welcoming. As an inclusive form of love, this bouquet is also open to other species, like fruits, like Gomphocarpus fruticosus.
