Pinecones

PINECONES - The Ancient symbol for regeneration and everlasting or eternal life.  Conifer Pine Trees are one of the most ancient plants on the planet, having existed nearly three times longer than all flowering plant species.  The seed of the pine cone gives birth to trees that in turn outlive humans by hundreds or thousands of years.  In this way, a pine seed can represent the Fountain of Youth or the Fountain of Forever.
