IN THE COLOR OF DEEP YELLOW
Sempreviva
The Venetians gave this name to the small amaranth flower that retains its color and symbolizes eternal love. The small yellow flower that grows in steep parts of Kythera and on the rocky islet “Chytra” got its name from the Italian word, “sempre” which means always and the participle of the verb, “vivere” which means I live, (It lives forever).
You will find wonderful compositions of Sempreviva in many shops of the island.
