The ruler came up with the idea of creating a symbol of power in the form of flowers, but the king did not like any of them. While returning from a walk, he noticed among the stones and rocks one small flower with pink petals, which became a sign for Solomon - the crown should be in the form of this plant, symbolizing modesty, which would adorn his wisdom.
