Okay since I love dispensing random information and feel like a lighter change of subject from such serious and in-depth topics such as politics, religion and helping El Ted pick out a new nail polish color, here we go... In Victorian times it was common for courting lovers to send secret messages through flowers. Each flower had a specific meaning attached to it i.e. : Red Rose: I love you truly, madly deeply Lilac: You are my first true love Peony: I'm sorry Orchid: I want to make you happy Petunia: I like being around you Jasmine: Everything will turn out okay Chrysanthemum: I believe in you Gardenia: You're beautiful and sweet Begonia: We're being watched! Bluebell: I'll never cheat on you Iris: Come on baby light my fi-yer...*cough* well I'm sure it meant something different in the genteel Victorian era I also heard that white roses symbolized innocent love, red roses passionate love and yellow roses were " let's just be friends " Creative ideas to put in that next boo-quet of flowers for yo' hunny, guys {O)
