gm3 flowers you enjoy but given by their latin names

I'll pass on this one, I'm no horticulturalist, but bump it a bit before it's off the screen. I'm sure there are lots of gardeners out there with Latin terms rolling sensuously off their tongues lol.

It took a little work, but here goes:

Lilium (lily)
Flos aurantii (orange blossom)
Helianthus (you guess ;))

I took a Latin class but darned if I remember any of it.

Keiko Moti, "Roses"

Van Gogh, "Starry Night" (I know, not very original of a choice)

Rene Caron, any of his Paris street scenes

I have the Moti print over my mantle, and a Caron print in my dining room :)

Give me 3 decades in history you would go back to visit

My French Bulldog, Emmet has these swirls on his butt that remind me ( and others) of Starry Night. BTW, he did several versions of Starry Night so if you think one choice is not original, pick another. lol. It's popular for good reason .I think.

1910-1919
1920-1929
1930-1939

gm3 worst romantic gifts you ever got (even tho well-meaning)

Ha! I could start a thread....

1. I used to have (notice past tense) a gold ring in the shape of a dolphin. An ex (again, past tense) decided to take my ring and have two emeralds put in for the dolphin's eyes as a surprise. Not sure who did the work but the "emeralds" looked like Coke bottle glass and the dolphin's face had been mangled in the process. I seriously wonder if someone had used a pair of pliers to hold the ring while they superglued everything else.

2. An amaryllis plant/flower that was clearly left over from Christmas. The main issue was the blooms were fading and more noticeably it was swarming with some kind of fruit fly/gnat problem.

3. A break-up. (although in retrospect best darn gift I ever got! LoL!)


GM3 of the most romantic gifts yo have received....

gf #1 gave me a kitten, i kept it
gf # 2 gave me another kitten, i kept that one too
gf #3 gave me another kitten even though I still had cats from gf #1 and gf #2 and really only ever wanted a dog.

gm3 of your dream vacations.
