budding romance

i know im a bit late, but i didnt want to wait til next year.

In the Victorian era, flowers were a language. When a suitor sent a woman primroses, for instance, it meant he couln't live without her. If she replied with striped carnations, the lady was refusing him. A bouquet of ambrosia? His love was requited! But what are the implications of a twenty-first-century beau's giving his Valentine a Marc Jacobs pink crystal-posy cuff or Liz Goldwyn's rosy copper bracelet that looks like it's made of velvety petals? He loves you or he loves you not? He absolutely loves you.
