I was kind of thinking of a magnolia, cause he was born in Louisiana.

Why would you assume I'm Bosnian?

An Aster is a symbol of love and memories

Mainly because I always thought I had this psychic power...

I can guess ethnicities and bra sizes. The bra sizes, I hold true to. I have about 97% accuracy.

A magnolia is love of nature.

A Zinnia represents daily remembrance

Are you sure that it had nothing to do with the fact that up until a week ago, I had a quote in Bosnian in my signature line? ;)

Here it says that Pansies are for remembrance...

Yes, those too, they are used on Remembrance day I do believe. Rosemary and Thistles are also used for Remembrance

Maybe a bouquet of remembrance!

This is where I found the Zinnia info... tons of info there actually

Book of Symbols

Have you thought about incorporating his Zodiac symbol - can do wonders with customizing that as well

Good link Tralyn. :)

So perhaps like two or three flowers with separate meanings that represent him?

No, cause neither of us were too into Astrology... It's something fun to read, but we don't/didn't follow it.

You know, I'm thinking like a group of flower with separate meanings to represent him and his personality.

Thanks, which one? LOL

I think that is a VERY COOl idea, very personal.. and.. you can throw other things, like greenery that has symbolic meaning as well as accents.. and.. Altenwegs butterfly she found would be gorgeous by flowers

The symbol one. :)

Maybe three different flowers and a butterfly landing on them. Have to get my butterfly in there somewhere. ;)

When you have time, this looks very helpful too - lots of info there

Symbolism of Plants, Herbs, and Trees

BEAUTIFUL!! I love this. You guys are wonderful!! Anyone want to help me look through and help me find another flower... I think maybe just two!

And I LOVE the butterfly idea!!


And the subject of... where??

LOL.. I'm actually all excited about this! : ) I really do agree... Altenwegs butterfly would be so beautiful with flowers.. Awe : ) warm fuzzies

Have you chosen a flower?

My flower is on my upper middle back, covered often, shown in summer. I have a friend that has a memorial tattoo on the front of his shin, also many are on arms.. where are you thinking?

Obviously somewhere that can be easily hidden, as my dress is conservative normally, and business casual at work.

I was thinking in between my soulder blades...

But the sad part is that I won't be able to see it...

You'd be surprised. You are right, you don't see it all the time there - that's where mine is, ironically with a butterfly to the left of it. I see it quite often in the mirror, a very nice reminder

I put mine on my ankle because I wanted to see it always.

Funny thing, I read a book once that had a character in it that was a tattoo artist. The question came up about tattoos and placement, is there a hidden meaning there. He said, in his experience, the more a tattoo means to someone the more visible it is to the outside world, usually the visible tattoos represent a loss, fear, something someone has overcome.

Not that it's true, I just found it interesting, thought I'd share.

My next one will be on my left shoulder. How about your shoulder or leg CM?

I was thinking "gratitude" but it's a full bouquet of roses (NOW I know why they are carried by many brides)... But perhaps there is an alternative, single flower with the same representation.
