These flowers are associated with the moon. The Moon’s energy is emotional, and responsive. The moon rules desire as opposed to ego, need as opposed to reason. The Moon signifies the feminine, and a steady mind. Its light illuminates knowledge.

Orpine is also known by the names “live-long” and ‘life forever” due to this plant’s tenacity for life. Because of its fleshy leaves and swollen roots, orpine has a rare ability to stay fresh and alive, long after having been uprooted. It will live a long time if uprooted and hung up in a room without earth or water, subsisting on the store of nourishment in its fleshy leaves and swollen roots. The 16th-century herbalist John Gerard remarked about orpine as “noting that one could set a stalk of it in clay and the stalk would stay green and even grow if watered”. This resistance to drying and dying made live-long an object of superstition over the ages.
