Do all flowers speak the same language? Or do the monocotyledons speak differently from the dicotyledons, and both of them not speak to the grasses? Jul 16 03, 4:09 PM

Simultaneous post there, mochyn, or nearly but I'm VERY slow this end. According to my book it means "All I have I lay at your feet" Jul 16 03, 4:10 PM

I like your link better, Liz. I thought the "nuts" one was just a tad unimaginative though. Jul 16 03, 4:12 PM

There could be interesting sub-meanings, such as if someone sent two orchids... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orchis Jun 20 09, 11:02 AM
