wow so many different meanings for roses.... @ab289....make ur sig picture smaller.....it's so freakin huge
Yep, flowers have lots of meanings, so be careful what you select for a girl Yep, you are not the first one who is complaining about the HUGE pic
i thought white rose means death or something. because in my grandpa's funeral we all had to drop white roses into the place where he was buried. >.<
Monkshood - Beware, a deadly foe is near; chivalry Would anyone really give someone this flower just to warn them
But I'm sure most girls (like me) don't know the meanings of each flower. I mean, maybe for roses (and their colour) but...that's a damn lot of flowers to be careful about, lol.
well it does have something to do with it Eternal Love ; innocence; heavenly; secrecy and silence so basically it's like saying rip
lol yupyup google... wow... such a wide variety of flowers xD reminds me of english today.. @_@ (long story)
lol yea but google ain't gonna save you when you present the flowers to the girl trying to explain the meaning...
Neh, I'm the type who prefers food over flowers. (And flowers attracts insects! Best way to scare me away...)
^ LOL alot of my friends are scared of inscets suprisingly, though we ARE bigger than insects... =S =S
