The Flowers
All the names I know from nurse:
Gardener`s garters , shepherd`s purse:
Bachelor`s buttons,lady`s smock,
And the lady hollyhock.
Fairy places,fairy things,
Fairy woods where the wild bee wings,
Tiny trees for tiny dames--
These must all be fairy names !
Tiny woods below those boughs
Shady fairies weave a house;
Tiny treetops,rose or thyme,
Where the braver fairies climb !
Fair are grownup people`s trees,
But the fairest woods are these;
Where,if I were not so tall,
I should live for good and all.
~Robert Louis Stevenson~
The Language of Flowers
Moss Rosebud and Myrtle- A confession of love.
Mignonette and Coloured Daisy- Your qualities surpass your charms of beauty.
Lily of the Valley and Ferns- Your unconscious sweetness has fascinated me.
Yellow Rose, Broken Straw and Ivy - Your jealousy has broken our friendship.
Scarlet Geranium, Passion Flower, Purple Hyacinth, and Arbor Vitae - I trust you will find consolation, through faith,
in your sorrow; be assured of my unchanging friendship.
Columbine, Day Lily, Broken Straw, Witch Hazel and Coloured Daisy - Your folly and coquetry have broken the spell of your beauty.
White Pink, Canary Grass and Laurel - Your talent and perseverance will win you glory.
Golden-rod, Monkshead, Sweet Pea and Forget-me-not- Be
cautious; danger is near; I depart soon; forget me not.
