American Lily of the Valley

There are mourning doves on our porch. They built a little nest in the awning’s rafters. She’s expecting and stays in the nest all the time. I went out on the porch for a nicotine break and her husband came by and talked to me. I told him that we are friends and that his wife is expecting at least 2 kiddos – a boy and a girl. He told me that’s his wife and to protect her. Then he flew up to greet her and check on the kiddos. He did a security parameter check. I told him that we’re friends, she’s expecting soon, and that I’ll guard her too. They’re my friends.

Sampaguita

Sampaguita: Meaning: Jasmine flower; I promise you; Champak flower

The sampaguita symbolizes love, purity, hope, devotion, and simplicity.’

© Chloe Caday

“Chloe Caday’s, The Undying Love of Sampaguita II, is the second painting of tryptic – Sampaguita, in her latest series, Diwata’s Song. The work integrates the narratives of Sampaguita – the story of a fate-forbidden love, and the daughters of Bathala (the creator in Tagalog mythology); Mayari (goddess of the moon), Tala (goddess of the stars) and Hanan (goddess of the morning).“

“Sampaguita” (the national flower of the Philippines) is a Spanish term derived from the Filipino words “sumpa kita,” meaning “I promise you,” symbolizing love and devotion. [source: Google]

The Sampaguita, the Philippines’ national flower, is said to have originated from a legend about a princess, Lakambini, and a prince, Lakan Galing, who swore “sumpa kita” (meaning “I promise you”) on a hill by the sea, but Lakan Galing never returned, and Lakambini died of a broken heart, with the Sampaguita growing from her grave. 

Here’s a more detailed look at the legend:

  • Lakambini and Lakan Galing:Lakambini, a princess, lacked ruling experience and received help from Lakan Galing, a kind prince from a neighboring kingdom. 
  • A Promise of Love:The two fell in love and swore their undying love to each other on a hill by the sea, with the phrase “Sumpa kita” meaning “I promise you”. 
  • A Broken Promise:Lakan Galing left to fight the kingdom’s enemies and never returned. 
  • A Flower from Grief:Lakambini died of a broken heart and was buried on the hill where they pledged their love. 
  • The Sampaguita’s Origin:Soon after, a flower grew over her grave, and it came to be called the “sampaguita,” in memory of the lovers’ promise. 
  • Symbolism:The Sampaguita is now a symbol of love, devotion, and strength, and its sweet-smelling scent is a reminder of the romantic legend.
