Meaning
Everyone is unique and has distinct qualities; celebrate diversity.
Cultural Background
Flowers are a central part of Iranian life. During Nowruz, the 'Haft-Sin' table often includes flowers like hyacinths (Sonbol). This proverb reflects the deep connection between nature and human psychology in Iran. Persian poetry (Rumi, Hafez, Saadi) frequently uses the 'Garden' as a metaphor for the soul or society. This proverb is a simplified version of these complex literary themes.
Use it to be polite
If you don't like someone's choice but don't want to be rude, use this phrase to show you respect their individuality.
