They are usually calm people, who bear their difficulties in silence, not being inclined to discuss them with others… ”.

It is noted that the personalities associated with this flower are subject to frequent mood swings often fluctuating, which oscillate from one extreme to the other, as if they were the prey of a storm, they go from happiness to sadness even in a single day, generating disharmony interior, fluctuation of feelings and intentions, confusion.
