HelpRe: Rose, Violet, and Lily
in reply to a message by mirfak
I'd choose Rose, for myself or someone else. The other two names seem so weak and cutesy to me.
I'd depict a rose as red, a violet as purple (even though there's yellow violets) and a lily as white.
Sure, the flowers all have symbolism. Lily is purity, Easter and funerals, among other things. Not real sure about violets but it seems to be associated with shyness, as in shrinking violet.
Rose has the most symbolism, I think. The Virgin Mary, love, plus all the symbolism of the specific colors of roses.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
