lis·â€‹i·â€‹an·â€‹thus

Meaning

Lisianthus on the other hand comes from the Greek words 'lysis', which translates as 'dissolution', and 'anthos', meaning flower. ... As the lisianthus has its roots as a prairie flower, it is also suggested that it represents old-fashioned values and receptivity, calming thoughts and congeniality.
