Thanks.

Do you think the Victorian floral etiquette was just another way that we women thought up for men to get in trouble with us? :o) Maybe the florists helped keep them safe.

In one of the botanical illustration courses I took the teacher had us draw three plants or flowers and write a short piece on its symbolism and what it meant to us. Fun.
