Garden Daisy ....................I partake your sentiments

Garden Marigold............... Uneasiness

Garden Ranunculus ..........You are rich in attractions

Garden Sage...................... Esteem

Garland of Roses............... Reward of virtue



Gentian.............................. You are unjust

(This bright blue flower is named after Gentius, King of Illyria, who was said to be an alcoholic and used the Gentain for medicianl purposes. It has remarkable healing properties and is said to be resistant to disease. It was even used by Pythagorus in the Sixth Century BC in a recipe he created as an antidote to poison. More recently Gentian has also been enjoyed as a wine.

The flowers are trumpet shaped and easy to grow, but can be temperamental, for a clump which flowers well one year may never flower again. While the origin of its meaning is not known perhaps it was so called by a disappointed gardener.)

(Geraniums are to be found in most parts of the world and almost everywhere are confused with Pelargoniums. Their botanical name comes from the Greek word 'geranos', meaning a crane, for the fruit of the plant resembles a crane's beak, hence the nickname Cranesbill. Geraniums are said to have been given their color by Mohammed who left his clothes to dry on a bed of mallow. The flowers blushed dark red with pride and never lost their color, and have been known as geraniums ever since.)
