"Jane lived to give her gifts to others like a flower, which exists to give it's beauty to others". Orchids were chosen for their rare beauty and delicate qualities. They are depicted here from left to right: Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall, and represent Birth, Childhood, Adolescence, and Maturity.
In the words of our designer: "Winter: Birth. New life struggles to survive in a cold, harsh world... white symbolizes innocence and purity."
In the words of our designer: "Spring: Childhood. This yellow and red orchid exists with bold innocence and fearlessness of youth..."
In the words of our designer: "Summer: Adolescence. In the heat of life growth is stunted and this flower turns inward for strength. Deep purple was chosen to signify complex emotions and inner struggle."
In the words of our designer: "Fall: Maturity. Elevated to a stature of wisdom and confidence, these red orchids are in the peak season of life. The placement of these flowers depicts the ending of life and the departure for the next."
