I have long been of the opinion that flowers possess magic. The beauty and fragrance of a flower, when given, can evoke an emotion, share a sentiment or send a message. I have collected here a list of flowers and the sentiments or messages relating to them. The names that are underlined will take you to images of that flower when you click on them. The images are of varying quality, I will update them as I get more and better graphics.
