Do plants die when love does?

I know this sounds off-the-wall, but my boyfriend of 6 years gave me a beautiful orchid for Valentine's day. He said it was a symbol of our love. It had nine beautiful flowers blooming on it. We've experienced a lot of hurt and anger in our relationship for the past three years and in the past few months, it feels like it has gotten worse to the point of numbness for both of us. Well, in the past few months, all the blooms have fallen off except two. Now, I have taken care of this plant as I am supposed to with the temperature variants and ample light, but I just don't understand why it is loosing its blooms. I fear it is a symbol of our love that is disapating. Could this be really true?

Do plants die when love does?
I'd say it's an omen. It may sound off the wall but sometimes plants and people can develop a life-link. There have been many known cases when a tree, planted at someone's birth, dies and withers the very same day as the person it correspondingly grew with dies. Science denies such a link could exist. But is it really so hard to believe? I believe in God, angels, and demons. If they exist so does the spirit, which means there's something out there that is more to our physical bodies.


Life-links don't always happen between two living objects. Clocks have been known to stop at the same exact time of a person's death. Even vases have been known to shatter when the owner had expired.


Back to your question: Flowers are often a symbol of love. It's not unheard of. Perhaps the flower does resemble dying feelings. If this relationship is nearly dead there may be no hope for the plant.


Or maybe it's just a plant that reached its natural life expectancy.


Look at it the way you want. Are you more of the person that believes there's something more than a baggy pigment holding in blood and bones. Or does it scare you that there is life outside our bodies?
Reply:It depends because some of the broken hearted do want to do anything but to cry and to mourn for their agony. And because of it they forgotten to take care of some of their important stuff like their pets, plants etc...
Reply:well, you tell me...my bf broke up with me the day before Christmas Eve and by the end of the first week of January...all 7 of my plants were dead!


(and yes, I did take care of them and they were all healthy earlier in Dec.)
Reply:Have you researched care and characteristics of the orchid? Chances are it might be something else.
Reply:Yes
Reply:I do not know about the dying part, but the opposite seems to be true, so, as curious as it seems, the answer must be yes.





My girlfriend presently has a rose that is doing quite well. It is not a rose plant growing in soil, it is a long-stem rose that I got from a florist.





It has every petal and is still firm, with no sign whatever of even one petal going brown or wilting.





She feeds it nothing. All it gets is tap water. The little vase it sits in has turned yellow , but it gets rinsed and there is always fresh water there for the rose to drink, which it does.





She insists that what she calls her "miracle rose" is doing so well because our love is true.





Having never heard of a cut rose lasting longer than a couple of weeks, I simply have to agree with her, because May is now just a week away and I bought the rose a week before Christmas.
