Today we make a handy little post on understanding some of the rudimentary and occasionally fickle meanings of the feelings and emotions associated with flowers–otherwise known as the Language of Flowers.  I post this without editorial comment.  Perhaps it will be useful to someone.  ALSO:  there is a reverse index of emotions:flower in part two of this post.
