| Larch Larix decidua (red/yellow) |
 |
| Flower Meaning: Calmness, Confidence, Courage, Creativity, Perseverance, Self-Esteem, and Self-Expression |
 |
| Bloom and Blossom: Larch helps those individuals who suffer from great self-doubt and poor self-esteem. The soul is lacking in confidence and thus projects failure, poor performance, or harsh judgment by others, far beyond the objective situation. In this way, the soul capacities stagnate, for such individuals severely censor and constrict their creative expression, and stifle their spontaneity. They are afraid to try anything new or risky, and therefore do little to grow and evolve. Larch particularly heals the throat, or communication and creativity chakra (5th chakra). Many of those who need Larch are very closed down in the center, and may even have a physical affliction of the throat or other speaking impediments. Larch flower essence frees creative potential, giving the individual renewed confidence and expressiveness. Larch impels the soul from a self-limiting to a self-transcending mode of behavior. The colors that represent Larch are red and yellow. The positive qualities of Larch are: Self-confidence, creative expression, and ability to be spontaneous and take risks. |

| Flower Facts: Larches are conifers in the genus Larix. They are native to much of the cooler temperate northern hemisphere, on lowlands in the far north, and high on mountains further south. They are deciduous trees with cones that are green or purple, ripening to the color brown five to eight months after pollination. Larch is valued in forestry for its wood, which is tough, waterproof and durable, with top quality knot-free timber being in great demand for building yachts and other small boats. Larch has also been used in herbal medicine. |
