Hi Kate! Written by Cheryl (4/14/2003 12:12 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, GR-Flowers (first post), penned by KateL

] Does anyone know if flowers were given meanings in JA's time, or is this a Victorian invention?

Interesting! If you don't mind, I will take your question over to the Life and Times Board and see what the Regency experts think. Though as Aingeal says below, Shakespeare did use it in Hamlet....

] I've been lurking here some time, working up the courage to introduce myself properly, but I finally have something to add to the conversation.
] Off to the Newbie Board now.

I'm glad we "forced" you to delurk. Welcome to Pemberley, Kate!

(and Aingeal, no more lurking - you need to post some more! ;-)
