What a joy the gaura is! This pink and white flower has been placed near each entrance of the garden to remind us of the Holy Spirit.
Plant lovers have often admired these long-lasting and delicate flowers, noting their ability to "dance" in the breeze. Even on seemingly windless days, the flower heads gently move in response to the wind.
In the Bible, the Hebrew word ruwach can be translated as both Holy Spirit and wind. As the flowers dance in the wind, the gaura reminds us of the Holy Spirit's presence — to refresh us and to fill us.
