Re: Rose, Violet, and Lily
in reply to a message by mirfak
For myself: Rose, Violet , Lily. Because I’m middle aged and Rose has the most flexibility imo.
For a child: Lily, Rose, Violet. Because I find Lily the most youthful (I do realise the child will grow up, but I would still be older relatively). Violet is somewhat an old lady name to me.
For a co-worker or housemate: Rose, Lily, Violet. Because Rose seems most average. Violet is slightly pretentious and Lily is too naive.
The rose is red. The lily is white.
I have looked superficially into flower meanings in the past and even have a book on it somewhere I think. Without referring to any other source, I automatically assume roses symbolise love and lilies symbolise death. I don’t have any particular associations with violets.
