Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What would a bunch of pink carnations signify?

Answer: I'll never forget you

A bunch of daisies would mean innocence, candytuft signifies indifference and truth would be shown by a bunch of white chrysanthemums.
2. If I sent a bunch of yellow chrysanthemums they would mean what?

Answer: Slighted love

Clematis equal mental beauty, asters stand for afterthought, and anemones mean "you are forsaken".
3. If I sent you a bunch of daffodils what would I be telling you?

Answer: You are my only

A Michaelmas daisy means farewell, ferns signify fascination and forget-me-nots mean true love (as well as the more obvious "Don't forget me").
4. Which of the following signify innocence?

Answer: All of these

White lilacs and white roses are also used to signify innocence.
5. Which of the following would you send to tell the recipient "You are lovely"?

Answer: Gardenia

Dandelions mean rustic oracle or knowledge, larkspur would convey the message "you are fickle" and peonies can mean either bashfulness or shame. Gardenias can also mean joy.
6. What flowers would I send to you to let you know I would be faithful?

Answer: Lemon Blossom

If I combined the lemon blossom with forget-me-nots I would be telling you I would be faithful and would remember you. Lavender would show my distrust, I would send lobelia if I thought you malevolent and lichen if I felt dejected.
7. Which of the following would make a perfect wedding bouquet?

Answer: Ivy, white and red roses

Ivy means marriage and red and white roses together stand for unity - an excellent base for marriage. Lettuce and whte rosebuds would mean you enter a marriage with a cold heart ignorant of love, sweet pea and forget-me-nots would mean "I depart soon - remember me" - both of these are not a healthy start for newly weds! Primrose, yellow rose and fern would mean inconstancy, jealousy and fascination.
Orange blossom and daisies would be another good choice as this would mean purity, chastity and innocence.
8. A bouquet of which of the following would you be most flattered to receive?

Answer: Camellia

Camellias mean perfect loveliness - sadly I have never received a bouquet of them! Buttercup would mean the recipient was childish, narcissus would signify vanity or egotism and oleander would say beware. Camellias can also mean gratitude.
9. If I was extremely shy and trying to remain chaste which of the following bouquet might I give to convey this message to a suitor?

Answer: Cyclamen and burdock

Cyclamen and burdock equal modesty and shyness and "touch me not", marigold and barberry would signify grief and bad temper(!), hydrangea and larkspur would mean I was boastful and fickle and red chrysanthemum and fern was send a message of desire and fascination.
10. Which colour rose would you send to convey a thank you message?

Answer: Dark Pink

Dark red roses would spell love, coral would equal desire and white roses signify innocence.
