Flower Gardens

Hortus Deliciarium (Garden of Delight),
Gilgengart (Lily Garden),
Rosarium (Rose-Art Garden)?
The practice of weaving symbolic chaplets of garden verses as chants or plain songs to the Virgin Mary
​has been a gesture of devotion by the pious medieval laity.
Between the 11th and 13th centuries,
these hymns of praise and prayers were composed and called Flower Gardens.
These hymns are associated with "growth",
"greening" and "flowering" and fused with the terminology of Mary's virginal garden of incarnation.
The flower within is referred to as Christ, the "Tree of Life."

My mouth
shall speak of wisdom,
Prudence shall be
the utterance of my heart;
I will incline my ear
upon a proverb,
I will set forth my riddle
to the music of the harp.

Psalm 49
