‘Blooming Heather’

A flower representing solidarity, independence, protection and sorrow.

It’s a hearty and lonely flower due to it’s ability to thrive even in harsh conditions.

A color study with Sylvain! He mysteriously always inspires me to do quiet landscapes. Great news for me, because color is my kryptonite and needs serious practice. So I’ll be trying to do a lot more color studies!

More lore for 'Chosen Horizons' as written in Ori's journal. This time it is about the language of flowers and how hobbits use it. I plan on going into more detail about the language and how it is used in this AU, even if it isn't in the story exactly...

My sources are primarily from

'Floriography' by Jessica Roux

'The Complete Language of Flowers' By S. Theresa Dietz

and many online sources that I constantly forget to save or bookmark.

Feel free to use this as references for your own fics, if you'd like...just keep in mind that despite my best attempt at sticking to the authentic language of flowers...I am but an American Millennial, and not a Victorian who actually practices this... I use it as I see fit and make some changes where I feel is necessary for the plot.

For example, I don't know if there are legitimately flowers associated with each day of the week, but I chose to use the "Monday's Child" poem as a baseline for it...As well as the secret messages bit. I do plan on adding more, like I said...so stay tuned. I'm planning on making a simple dictionary of all the flowers and their meanings that I have used/plan on using/think Bilbo/hobbits would use, etc...And as always, feel free to use it yourself.

The masks won’t look exactly like this. This is just a study 🌸

Patreon followers got to see these early 😌

Give me welder Eddie harassing Steve with metal flowers. 🌻🌼

Just this ash and soot covered man giving clean and proper Steve Harrington beautifully made flowers.

Not roses but carnations, buttercups, and sunflowers.

Steve does not know that each day he is being handed a flower that says overall “fuck you” because he loves buttercups and sunflowers. The carnation was simply too beautiful to mean anything bad.

Steve falls in love and Eddie is just bewildered.

Like how could this man not understand his flower message?

The flowers slowly change from Petunias to Honeysuckle as Eddie also falls in love. <3

Flower Language Based Prompt List I made instead of writing 💐

I tried to make the prompts relate to each flower’s definition per the Victorian Flower Language without getting too repetitive.

The prompts are all fairly open ended and I figured people could use them for their own inspiration or request games!!

You know the “send me a ship and flower and I’ll write something.”

Anywho, if anyone does end up using this I’d love it if you’d tag me so I can read what you’ve written!! Either way, I hope someone can get use out my procrastinating 💖

I'm trying to design a bouquet of flowers for this guy I've been seeing. We're going on a semi formal date soon and I wanna ask him to go steady. I'm focusing on the meaning of the flowers and trying to find ones that convey my feelings. I don't know a lot about the language of flowers and could use some help. I don't know if being in a bouquet changes the meaning of the flower. I'm going off the individual meaning of each flower.

Right now I'm thinking of using Camellias (pink and red) and Tulips (red and yellow) plus maybe some Morning Glorys.
