You know, researching Victorian flower language would be so much easier if this reference book had goddamn PICTURES
#what is the DIFFERENCE between unspecified cowslip and AMERICAN cowslip#which gillyflower are you referring to there's like eight things called a gillyflower#why are some of these meanings vague concepts like ''constancy'' or ''affection'' and others SUPER specific like ''thy frown will kill me''#the fuck does ''the color of my fate'' even MEAN what IS that phrase#fuck it i'm just using forget-me-nots jesus christ#i wanted yellow but i've got yellow iris yellow tulips and yellow/orange ranunculus in there that should be enough yellow#so many of the yellow flowers mean negative things too it's not FAIR
