I think my favorite's Lakshmi Apolline.Prunella Gardenia makes me think of pruning...floral in an active way....it also seems very purple/green/white to me, which are suffragette and genderqueer colors...
Thanks. :)

I love the name Prunella Gardenia - but, only on paper; I would never use a combination like that in real life.
I wouldn't know the meaning(s?) of colors, save Shakespearean (style) use - and popular specifics as with the color of roses-n'stuff. However, I was raised catholic, and though I've no faith, but was in church & catechism weekly - and at every holiday- so perhaps this does mean that I know meanings of colors, after all?
If you'd please be so kind, though - did you specifically list both Prunella & Gardenia wondering whether someone would match them? If you don't respond, I'll consider that to indicate "none of my business" - (smile). However, I like the name "Lakme". I understand the meaning might be tend to dissuade others, but I enjoy the name's sound well enough to think past it.

- did you specifically list both Prunella & Gardenia wondering whether someone would match them? Nope. They're just two flower names I think are interesting. Prunella's in a different group than most of the other plants because it has an el in it; they started out semi-organized, but the groups ended up being kinda arbitrary.
