Can I ask a really stupid question?

Recently I've seen lots of ads on various things (ok, Yahoo! stuff) that say "Sunflower your elders. (sunflower=respect)". Apparently "the Language of Flowers" is pretty well defined, and has quite a lexicon, although I don't equate either adoration, nor Haughtiness with respect, but then that's me.

So who decided on all these hidden meanings amongst the high priced foliage?

What's more, this means that in order to pick out a nice boquet of flowers, one need be aware that the Creeping Cereus, Mandrake, Snakesfoot, Bay Leaf, Cypress and Hemlock combination isn't the best one to send your boss. Likewise a nice arrangement featuring Ivy Geranium, is not something you should send to Grandma.

And why is poor Basil marked for Hatred? Do folks really have it out for Sicillians or something?

So in case you're wondering why guys don't by you more roses, well, it's probably because they're still confused why you went nuts when we bought you that mix of African Marigold and Globe Amaranth.
