Elaine: In John Bryan's book, Manual of Bulbs he states "Leucojum from Greek Leukos meaning white and ion relating to violet referring to the delicate fragrance. aestivum Greek "of summer" ArnoldNew Jersey -----Original Message----- From: Elaine Jek <elainej@gmail.com> To: Pacific Bulb Society <pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> Sent: Sun, Nov 11, 2018 9:44 pm Subject: [pbs] Leucojum aestivum lore I thought all flowers have a story or cultural significance associated with them. For example, a red rose means love. I've been trying to find a 'flower meaning' for the Leucojum aestivum, commonly called summer snowflake or Loddon lily, and haven't found anything on the internet. (There's tons of associations for snowdrop but not the snowflake.) It's the most charming thing in my garden right now. Would anyone here know? If no one knows, lets suggest a significance and which trait of the flower inspired it, just for fun. Or maybe I'll come up with a story. :-) Elaine. _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/…
