#D# Flowers and their meaning: @}-,-`-- @}-,-`-- @}-,-`-- @}-,-`-- @}-,-`-- @
From: ae498@yfn.ysu.edu (Dawn Bott) -------------------------------------------
[...]
this whole flower language started in Constantinople in the 1600s,
and was brought to England in 1716 by Lady Mary Wortley Montagu
who had spent time in Turkey with her husband. The interest
then moved to France (of course) where the Book Le Langage des
Fleurs was printed with over 800 floral signs. Many were toned
down in the English translation at the time of Queen Victoria
because they were quite lusty and risque! (aww..wish i could
get my hands on an original Frence copy!!)
anyway...here are a few "nice" ones.. [...]

The Language of Flowers.
Flowers may be combined and arranged so as to express even the nicest
shades of sentiment.
If a flower is offered ``reversed'', its direct signification is likewise
reversed, so that the flower now means the opposite.
A rosebud divested of its thorns, but retaining its leaves, convays the
sentiment, ``I fear no longer; I hope.'' Stripped of leaves and thorns, it
signifies, ``There is nothing to hope or fear.''
A full-blown rose places over two buds, signifies ``Secrecy.''
`` Yes,'' is implied by touching the flower given to the lips; ``No,'' by
pinching off a petal and casting it away.
`` I am,'' is expressed by a laurel leaf twined arround the bouquet; ``I
have,'' by an ivy leaf folded together; ``I offer you,'' by a leaf of
Virginia creeper.

Columbine, Day Lily, Broken Straw, Witch Hazel and Coloured Daisy.
Your folly and coquetry have broken the spell of your beauty.

Subject: Information about The Rainbow Connection - LDR Mailing List
Hi everyone. If you're in an LDR and having problems, or just want to talk
to people in the same position (or who have been there before) then the
"Rainbow Connection" LDR Mailing List could be for you!
The mailing list is a support network for people in LDR's (Long Distance
Relationships). Many of the members are currently in LDR's. or have been
in the past. The list was set up to give support, advice and to share
both problems and successes with others.
Rainbow is *not* a contact or match making service. It is a support
group. Please don't waste your and our time trying to pick up on this
list.
To join the list, simply send email to:
rainbow-request@rmit.edu.au
asking for help. The server will tell you what to do to join and so on.
