Which flower variety or varieties, would you most want to (seriously or humorously) send to someone, who a loved spouse or partner of ours, has left you to be with and please say why, for any flower variety mentioned.



Daylilies. They remind us that our time can be fleeting.

Is it just me, or does that paragraph seem like it was written by George W. Bush?

Calla lilies, like the ones on coffins.

Dead horse arum, smells like rotting meat and attracts flies

Deadly nightshade: symbol of deception & death!

None of them mention hate or death wishes. But here is another site, you may be luckier

A Wallflower to the one left behind.

But seriously I would ask 'Why did they leave?' He/she was not giving enough attention/love/care for the partner to look elsewhere, why 'blame' the person who was the 'attraction'?

Not included in this list but found elsewhere LILY OF THE VALLEY: Return of happiness, purity of heart, sweetness, tears of the Virgin Mary, you've made my life complete, humility, happiness. The legend of the lily of the valley is that it sprang from Eve's tears when she was kicked out of the Garden of Eden. It is also believed that this flower protects gardens from evil spirits. Also known as the flower of May.

I wonder if that is why it grows as a weed in our garden ;-) Happiness, purity of heart, sweetness.

Mike There's a lot of happiness in my sig :-)) My nature.

None. When you're hurting you feel like lashing out; but that doesn't make it a good thing to do, and you'll probably regret it later. (Unless letting of steam in this fashion helps you avoid doing something worse.)

BWHAhahahahaha The only thing missing was a stumbling drawled "new-cue-lar" inserted into the garbled grammar.

"Fool me once, shame on ? shame on you. Fool me ? you can't git fooled again."

I recal a film in which the lead actress carries a baby for the devil. Set in an appartment block the old lady next door appears friendly but isn't and gives her a root of somethig (Tarris root?) to "help" her.

Anyone remember the name of the film and the root?

Or John Prescott.

I always thought, from something I read about Shakespear, that a yellow rose was a symbol of betrayal. I googled it (under the search terms: "Yellow Rose" betrayal) and found the following that sums up what I recall.

I would say give them a yellow rose.

I'd give them so twelve dozen roses and a note that said, "Thank you!"

Let them mull THAT over for a while.

Id get my new girlfriend to deliver them
