For the first flower I choose the Daisy, which is 雏菊  in Chinese.

I'm currently in my 2nd year of University, studying linguistics, chinese and english for my mayor languages, and i'm so happy to learn so many thing about so many places, but sometimes it's just difficult to keep up with everyone. This is why i chose Daisy to be the first flower of my garden, this flower are from the Asteraceae's family and symbolice New beginnings, hope and innocence, and this being my first post , it's really convenient.

And for the chinese 雏菊 (chú jú), if we look at the meaning of the 2 words, we have  雏  chú, which means young or inexperienced, and we also have 菊 jú, which means chrysanthemum, the family of these type of flowers, and this family has so many meanings, but what actually blowed my mind was that is usually used for funeral, it's deeply connected to death.

So what i was thinking, this words in chinese fits perfectly with the meaning of the flower.

"A new beginning comes after the death of the last course of your life, you commence a new piece of lifetime, but you set up young and inexperienced in that new field your going in"
