Re: Begonia and other unusual flower names
in reply to a message by Buneary
Narcisse is great. I actually quite like it.
We have Giacinto on our list, but haven't thought of the narcissus variation before. Thanks for the idea.
Amaranth is fantastic. I am surprised it isn't a bit more mainstream.
LOTR name are a GP for my husband. Asphodel is especially appealing to me, as is Primula and Celandine. Belladonna always sounds lovely, but is quite dangerous... so I always back away with the meaning. Still, I hadn't made the flower connection in Tolkien's work before. I will have to look those up again!
