- this whole flower language started in Constantinople in the 1600s,
- and was brought to England in 1716 by Lady Mary Wortley Montagu
- who had spent time in Turkey with her husband. The interest
- then moved to France (of course) where the Book Le Langage des
- Fleurs was printed with over 800 floral signs. Many were toned
- down in the English translation at the time of Queen Victoria
- because they were quite lusty and risque! (aww..wish i could

- The Language of Flowers.
-
- Flowers may be combined and arranged so as to express even the nicest
- shades of sentiment.
- If a flower is offered ``reversed'', its direct signification is likewise
- reversed, so that the flower now means the opposite.
- A rosebud divested of its thorns, but retaining its leaves, convays the
- sentiment, ``I fear no longer; I hope.'' Stripped of leaves and thorns, it
- signifies, ``There is nothing to hope or fear.''
- A full-blown rose places over two buds, signifies ``Secrecy.''
- `` Yes,'' is implied by touching the flower given to the lips; ``No,'' by
- pinching off a petal and casting it away.
- `` I am,'' is expressed by a laurel leaf twined arround the bouquet; ``I
- have,'' by an ivy leaf folded together; ``I offer you,'' by a leaf of
- Virginia creeper.
-

- The mailing list is a support network for people in LDR's (Long Distance
- Relationships). Many of the members are currently in LDR's. or have been
- in the past. The list was set up to give support, advice and to share
- both problems and successes with others.

- group. Please don't waste your and our time trying to pick up on this
- list.
