Any flower represent nurse?

I don't think there's a flower that "represents" nursing, but a


Geranium means "comfort", and a Peony means "healing."





Then I found this:


Lily of The Valley





A tribute to the Student Nurses was written by Paul Lawrence Dunbar after he was a patient at Miami Valley Hospital.





Sweetest of the flowers a-blooming


In the fragrant vernal days


Is the Lily of the Valley


With its soft retiring ways.





Well you chose this humble blossom


As the Nurse's emblem flower,


Who grows more like her ideal


Every day and every hour.





Like the Lily of The Valley


In her honesty and worth


Ah, she blooms in truth and virture


In the quiet nooks of earth.





Tho' she stands erect in honor


When the heart of mankind bleeds,


She still hides her own deserving


In the beauty of her deeds.





In the silence of the darkness


Where no eye may see or know,


There her footsteps shod with mercy,


And fleet kindness come and go.





Not amid the sounds of plaudits,


Nor before the garish days,


Does she shed her soul's sweet perfume,


Does she take her gentle way.





But alike her ideal flower


With its honey-laden breath


Still her heart blooms forth its beauty


In the valley shades of death.

Is the Lily of the Valley the flower that represents nurses? I don't know, but this is a great poem for anyone in the profession.





Hope this helps!
