File Folders - Peach Hydrangeas

The color peach represents immortality in Chinese civilization because the peach tree of immortality, long thought to be on a mountainside somewhere in the Tian Shan mountains in western China, is a key concept in the mythology of the Taoist religion. Often associated with a fourth wedding anniversary, the hydrangea symbolizes heartfelt emotions and can be used to express gratitude for being understood. The hydrangea was first discovered in Japan, and according to a Japanese legend, a proud emperor used a bouquet of hydrangeas as an apology to the family of a girl with whom he was in love. Since then, the flowers have served as a representation of heartfelt feelings, whether of joy or sadness. With its wooden stems and lacy, star-shaped flowers packed closely together in a pompom, the hydrangea’s color ranges from white to blue to pink, peach and purple, depending on soil acidity. The front and back of these lovely file folders are covered in the beautiful, peachy blooms, adding softly-colored elegance to your organizing.
