Ah yes...the Scottish Thistle...symbol of courage. I love that one. (Yes, I'm part Scottish.) And I'd rather have thistles than roses any day. Wildflowers are better too.

Come on you guys I am Scottish and I'd rather have a bunch of Roses than a thistle any day....may be one in the middle of the bunch is okay.... even Heather in a bunch is more attractive than a spiky thistle....

White - true love (purity)
Yellow - joy and friendship
Black - farewell
Peach - modesty
rosebuds - a heart of innocent love (youth)
DOZEN RED ROSES - I LOVE YOU
SINGLE RED ROSE IN FULL BLOOM - I LOVE YOU
tea roses - I'll remember always
