I believe that the flowering of the Manacá-da-Serra is a life lesson. It blooms in winter, when most plants save energy due to the difficult low temperatures. And just like Manacá-da-Serra, we must seek strength within ourselves to resist the most difficult times (= winter), overcoming each stage (= different shades of pink) until we find happiness again (= flowers in abundance).
Manacá-da-Serra is a tree native to the Brazilian Atlantic Forest whose flowers gradually change color, blooming in white, turning pink little by little and finally reaching purple. This tree blooms in winter, which makes it even more special as it presents us with its beautiful flowers and colors in the misty winter landscape. Its flowers are so abundant that they give the tree the appearance of a bouquet.
