    Out of those 13, honeysuckle and morning glories are my favs :-)

    I love honeysuckle - grew up with the smell of it in the air. I still love that smell. I did not know it’s meaning.

    I enjoyed this list. I knew types of flowers have meaning - but I didn’t know what meant what. Very interesting!

    My most favorite- the rose is not on the list but I would always associate it with love & beauty (methinks ;) I love carnations too and I like what they signify. Interesting T13!

    Okay, this is weird. I have honeysuckle, lily of the valley, and magnolia. I definitely see a theme in the meanings of my plants!

    Thanks for dropping by again this week and have a great TT.

    Nice list.

    I’ve always loved carnations best. My best friend teases me that it’s no coincidence that my favorite flower is also one of the cheapest. But thanks to you I now have more ammunition in my defense of the noble carnation. They are affordable because you can’t buy love, and they last so long because love is enduring.

    What an awesome list! I’m copying this out so I can use it in some stories. I had no idea of the meanings before now. Thank you for sharing. And I love your site by the way!

    who knew carnations were yesterday’s roses

    Thank you. I love to learn the meanings associated with flowers like that.

    My husband loves zinnia’s he told me they remind him of his mother who died when he was young and he wouldn’t know a thing about the meaning of flowers though he does buy them for me. Great Post

    Love the TT list! I copied it to save it. Nice to know what different flowers mean.

  14. L-Squared, on May 17th, 2007 at 1:28 pm Said:

    I was familiar with a few of these, but didn’t know the meaning behind all of them. Very interesting! Morning Glories have always been a favorite of mine.

    Thanks for visiting my list. :-)

    Ooh I love the flowers! I think the periwinkles and phlox and magnolias and snowballs are the sweetest to me. I’d love to have some of these in my garden one day. Thanks for sharing! :-D

    Neat list on flowers, I would never have picked daffodils for unrequited love.

    I am not sure which blog author can’t sleep, but when I had this happening I tried everything (except prescribed sleeping pills). What worked for me was listening to Sounds of nature or new age music on my ipod, and bathes help to. Good luck.

    Hi I was wondering if you could add my blog if you have a listing and I’ll add your’s to my blog when I hear from you.

    Toodles!
