In
Victorian
times, it was a huge deal to send just the right flower in order to get
a
certain message across. Some of these
make sense and some of them are goofy, but below is a list of the more
common
plants you might come across. As
Valentines Day is just around the corner, you may find the list helpful
when
sending some flowers to someone. Be
advised that you will probably have to explain to your kid why you sent
him or
her moss!
