the flower message meme

Flowers, for thousands of years, have been a popular way to communicate with someone else—especially if the message had to be secret. Most popular in the Victorian Era, it was at that time that flower meanings expanded to more than just apologies or expressions of love. They could now also contain warnings, silently break off an engagement (worse than text messaging someone), or have symbolic meaning in stories and paintings.

While it is no longer used as much, everyone remembers the more popular flower meanings and some delight in discovering the little-known ones. So, go to a florist and create a special bouquet for a loved one. Hopefully it’s for Valentine’s Day not National Break Up Day.

prompts

1. POMEGRANATE ❀ fertility

Having a baby can be a stressful, happy, amazing, scary time. Were you expecting one? Was it an utter surprise?

2. FERN ❀ shelter

Sometimes our lives can get turned upside down. It’s never fun when things fall apart, but hopefully, you can find someone who can help you out for a bit.

3. HOLLY ❀ domestic happiness

Everyone talks about the wedding and honeymoon, but what about life after? Hopefully for you, it’s full of bliss and joy. Or lots of good makeup sex.

4. WHITE ANEMONE ❀ sincere

Sometimes people get the idea that lying is a habit of yours and that you’re not meant to be trusted. But when lives or hearts are on the line, you have to prove your sincerity somehow. Good luck. I advise grand, insane feats of bravery.

5. IRIS ❀ good news

What is good news for one person can be bad news for someone else. Did you win a contest? Is the war finally over? Did you pass a class? Hopefully everyone is happy or you can deal with the fallout.

6. RED ROSE ❀ love

Nothing says ‘I love you’ like a bunch of red roses. Be careful, though—fifteen roses can mean an apology, a congratulations is expressed with twenty-five, and a single rose is traditional for a first date and ‘love at first sight’.

7. BAMBOO ❀ strength, loyalty

While it might be unusual for those in the West, bamboo is a common symbol in the East. Enduring winters and harsh mountains, bamboos make a wonderful gift when you want to say thank you and acknowledge someone’s hard work and loyalty.

8. YELLOW CAMELLIA ❀ longing

Ah, the beauty of love you cannot express or the tragedy of wanting justice for a wrongdoing… or the craving for ice cream when all of the stores have closed. Longing comes in all shapes and sizes. What do you crave?

9. SPIDER LILY ❀ never to meet again

The Spider Lily has a tragic tale of separated lovers not being able to keep their promise of reunion. Now it’s your tale! What caused you to break your promise? Why were you separated in the first place? Can you ever have a happy ending?

10. DAISY ❀ innocence

Misunderstandings are some of the worst things someone can go through with another person. In this case, you are innocent of something—a crime? Cheating? How can you prove your innocence and regain trust you lost?

11. BLUEBELL ❀ humility

Someone has decided to put you in your place. Were you getting too popular too quick? Were the people liking you better than the current king? Have you just been rebelling lately and causing up trouble? Get ready to become modest.

12. GARDENIA ❀ secret love

Secret admirers! Crushes! Were you sent a mysterious valentine? Were you made to give someone a love letter? Are you trying to find the right words to say to someone? What do you think would happen if someone were to reveal your secret?

13. FOUR LEAF CLOVER ❀ luck

Clover is supposed to bring you good luck—and you’re going to need it. Bad luck of some sort seems to keep following you. Are you under a curse? Did you break a mirror? Piss off a vengeful spirit? Best wishes…

14. LAVENDER ❀ failure

Who would have ever guessed that you would have failed? You were so sure, so confident that everything would go your way. Maybe a hero wannabe thwarted your plans. Maybe you lacked conviction. Either way, you’ve got to deal with it now.

15. ORANGE LILY ❀ revenge

Revenge is a dish best served cold. Revenge is like a plume of smoke. Oh, who cares? Someone has wronged you somehow and you want to return the favor.

16. GLADIOLUS ❀ bravery

Everyone has to stand up and fight for something, and it is not always easy. Is it to a best friend? Is it to an oppressor? Is it to your own fears and insecurities? Have heart, because they can take away your lives, but they can never take away your freedom!

17. DAFFODIL ❀ unrequited love

Love is a fickle thing at times, or sometimes, it is pretty firm in its choice. Sadly, the one you set your eyes on does not feel the same at all… Or perhaps you are the one rejecting.

18. TUBEROSE ❀ dangerous pleasure

You are in love—with someone you should not be with at all. Be it enemies or they’re too old or it would cause scandal if you were caught, digression and caution is needed. Good luck to keeping your secrets and hopefully it won’t always be this way.

19. ORCHID ❀ unity

People fight over the silliest of things, from love to freedom to the last slice of cake. Everyone focuses on the actual fight, though, and forget that making up and forgiving one another is the hard part! Can you make things right again? What will you do to express your sincere apologies? Or is it all a big, fat lie?

20. BURDOCK ❀ do not touch me

An odd thing for a flower to mean, isn’t it? But then again, touch can mean all sorts of things. Maybe you’re horribly sick and don’t want to spread it. Maybe you really don’t want someone touching you anymore. Or you want them out of your life, no matter what it takes.

21. WHITE TULIP ❀ forgiveness

Someone has done something awful and you’re struggling with forgiving them or at least moving past it. Can you ever find peace? Or will you continue to hold this grudge?

22. CHRYSANTHEMUM ❀ death

Death is a sad but inevitable part of life—it’s the way that it happens that makes headlines. Perhaps you are the survivor of an accident, or you killed someone, or you’re dealing with the loss of a loved one. Maybe you’re the one just about to pass on…

23. CHERRY BLOSSOM ❀ beauty

Goodness, who can resist having a crush every once in a while? There is no harm in adoring someone who is drop dead gorgeous or beautiful in another way. Question is, are you ever going to confess?

24. FLYTRAP ❀ deceit

Deceit can come in all shapes and forms: it can lead a country to ruin, destroy carefully laid plans, help you win a rigged game, or turn out to be a wonderful surprise. If you don’t accidentally give it all away.

25. WILDFLOWER ❀ pick your own

There are thousands of flowers out there! Dozens to choose from. Some even have different meanings if you ask different people. Time to pick your own or roll again!

Wha-? [That was not a question she was expecting.]

I said I'd toss to anybody essential to winning. Of course I will!

[shecanfly]

Then it's okay! I'll get over it!

[She has no idea why she's so emotional, it's sort of just a billion different things surprised and scared her all at once. She'll collect herself, definitely, she didn't need to be feeling literally all the things all at once....]

[courtqueen]

[??? She stands there looking bewildered, not that Hinata can see it until she unlocks the door.]

...? Get over what?

[shecanfly]

I don't know! I got freaked out, okay??

[courtqueen]

Huh?? Why? Because you didn't know what a red rose meant?

[shecanfly]

'Cause I didn't want you to think I was weird!

[courtqueen]

...

You're so stupid! I accepted it, didn't I?!

[shecanfly]

[Well now she's stunned silent, glad that there's a door separating them.]

What's that mean, then??

[courtqueen]

[Oh this is... she's suddenly really glad the door's still shut.]

That... Um. I mean. If you did having feelings, or whatever. I'd accept them.

[Because if she's being honest with her self she's had that crush ever since their three on three match. She was just to awkward and shy to think about making the first move.]

[shecanfly]

...Really? You're not joking? It'd be okay?

[courtqueen]

Really. Why would I joke about this? I accepted the flower, right?

[shecanfly]

...

Okay. But... I don't know what I feel! So there's nothing to accept!

[courtqueen]

Okay. Now get out of there so we can go to practice on time.

[shecanfly]

G-gimme a minute...

[She's a bundle of feelings she's trying to detangle it all]

[courtqueen]

I'll be here. Do you need me to do anything?

[shecanfly]

Don't laugh... or look grossed out...

[Don't do a lot of things really. She unlocks the door, and steps out, and she's a wet-faced, snotty mess.]

[courtqueen]

[She does as she's told, but she also sighs really deeply before taking Hinata's wrist and tugging them over to the sinks.]

C'mon, lets get you cleaned up.

[shecanfly]

[She'll go along, way too embarrassed to fight back.

She's such a little kid, freaking out... at least, that's what she's groaning and moaning about.]

[courtqueen]

[She ends up fussing over her and drying away her tears. She doesn't carry tissues with her, so the rough school paper towels will have to do. At least she's gentle with it.]

I think most people would've run if they didn't realize they were confessing to somebody.

[shecanfly]

[Hinata sniffs uncomfortably at the paper towel on her nose, taking it to dab carefully.]

You're all weird... you're not normally like this.

[courtqueen]

[Kageyama lets go of the towel, figuring most of the work is done.]

You don't normally accidentally confess to your teammate. You think I'm the one acting weird?

[shecanfly]

It was an accident!! But you, you're all nice and kind all the sudden, normally you grab my head and tell me to get back to normal when I do dumb stuff!

[courtqueen]

I didn't think it'd work if I did it like that!

[And then she looks down at the rose that she left on the sink before picking it back up. Hinata's not the only person feeling vulnerable here.]

[shecanfly]

Wait... when you said, "accept those feelings", did you mean...?

[courtqueen]

[Erk.]

... What are you asking?
