Meaning and background
The story behind Petal
Petal names one of the modified leaves forming a flower’s corolla. Merriam-Webster notes that petals are often brightly colored, giving the word a more precise botanical identity than simply flower. That garden reference can support a delicate visual association for a pet name. The source documents the plant structure, while any symbolism about gentleness, growth, or a particular dog’s appearance is a modern interpretation added by the household.
